I don't know what it is, but I mess up and double expose film in MF
cameras far too often.  (Once in 3 rolls with Sam's Spud and a number
of times with my pair of Ricohflexes.)  One of my Realists doesn't
have the double exposure prevention, and I never even noticed until
someone who borrowed it mentioned double exposing.  I've never had
a double-exposure in that camera.  Must be something about that big
expensive 120 film.  Another Murphy's law corollary?  The more 
pricey the film, the more likely the photog botches something.
