After 2 days of debugging death match (and I finally nailed the sucker),
what does the Rumor site say?

"Leica is rumored to announce the S2
replacement<http://leicarumors.com/2012/05/01/rumor-leica-s3-with-new-sensor-at-photokina.aspx/>
at
Photokina. The new S3 is expected to also have a 37.5MP sensor but with
improved characteristics. In the upcoming weeks/months the price of the S2
is expected to drop. Some rumors point to a $10k price tag (the current S2
price is 
$22,995.00<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/585106-REG/Leica_10801_S2_SLR_Digital_Camera.html/BI/2446/KBID/3285>).
Leica may also introduce a new combo price for the S2 with the 70mm S lens."

$10K for an S2? Now that's something that can really put a shake on the
MFDB  makers.
