seminar:  crimp the end of the film by bending it a couple of times and
then drop the bent end in middle of the winder.  It will catch every time.

I always crimp my film AFTER it comes out of the camera, length wise though, 
as a reminder that it's exposed.
It saves me devving unexposed rolls, always a disapointing experience...
