Probably not related as others have mentioned Steve...

Search the archives on this, I have a few posts detailing the magnet in the 
pickup "freezing" up.  Drop the front wheel, use a pick or screwdriver to 
carefully "prise" the magnet out without gouging it up then clean it and the 
cylinder, re-lube with white lithium grease and reassemble.  Take care to see 
that the "ears" on the wheel mate up with the magnet, you may have to pry them 
out a bit too, that is, if they haven't chewed the top off of the magnet.

I've had this happen to both of my ST's.  Hope it helps.
