Minolta XG-M and 132X flash

I have seen a similar problem with a Minolta XG-M and an Auto 132x flash. The flash worked fine for several years, but then developed a problem where the camera shutter did not work properly when the flash was in use. I found that if I used the optional PC Sync cable to connect the flash to the camera flash connector, it would bypass the signals in the hot shoe connector and would work ok. I have not figured out whether the problem was in the flash or the camera.
