500 C/M freeze on first frame

I'm experiencing something quite strange lately: My Hasselblad 500C/M freezes on the first frame of the roll It seems like the shutter opens, but is not closing down again. The "clack" :) isn't coming... After I release the back, put tension on the release and push the shutter again... everything is back to normal.

The strangest part of it all... it's only at the first frame!! All other frames act normal... had 3 rolls now like this... and really haven't got a clue what I might be doing wrong...

Anyone??
 
Last time I had a problem with the back shutter sticking I brought it into the shop to get a CLA and when it came back the shutter was flopping faster than I've ever seen it. It helped so much that I would suggest that you do the same and get a CLA done.
