Minolta XD-11, need to wind twice?

I recently purchased a Minolta XD-11 film camera in very good condition. I'm shooting my second roll of film now. I'm noticing that the shutter won't release unless I wind twice. The second wind allows only the tiniest bit of travel. So I need one full wind plus one very small wind and then the shutter will release.

Could this be something to do with the film stock?  (I'm not sure whether this problem happened on the first roll of film.)   The first roll of film was Kodak Gold and the current roll is Ilford HP5 Plus 400 B&W.

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks.
