Problem with random keys holding sustain until voice change

I have played my SV-1 regularly since I bought it new 5 or 6 years ago. The past two weeks, it has developed a problem where every once in a while, a random key will continue holding sustain after I lift off the pedal. It sustains every time it's hit again until I change instruments, then goes back to normal.
Is this a common issue? Is there a known cause or solution?

Funny resolution to this problem: I didn't know if you had a 3rd pedal hooked up for organ rotary control, it also functions as a sustain lock for individual keys.
Well I set up the 3rd pedal at home like a year ago and maybe experienced the "problem" once or twice so it just seemed like a complete anomaly, but I brought my full rig to jam with my dad one night and got a little drunk. While rocking out like a mad man, I kept stepping on the damn rotary pedal because I placed it right next to my sustain.
Mystery solved, enjoy a laugh at my expense. (And also remember not to keep your rotary pedal next to your sustain at a gig.)
