diagonal shadow on pictures

I recently bought an Olympus 400 Stylus and though I like it, I have

had a problem I am hoping someone can explain. In September, a thin

shadow showed up diagonally across a dozen or more pictures. Then it

seemed to go away. Then in November, while on vacation, it

reappeared on about the first 30 or so pictures then faded out. It

hasn't reoccurred since, but I'd like to know what caused it so as to

avoid it in the future. You can see what the shadow looks like if

you click on this link to three pictures I drew from my

shutterfly.com albums:

Anybody know what might have caused this and what I can do to ensure

it doesn't happen again? Thanks.

Look inside the camera for a piece of light sealing material or something similar that may have come loose and be dangling in the area between the lens and the film (close to the film). Remember that the image is formed on the film upside down, so you're looking for something coming down diagonally from near the center of the top of the frame.
