Starshine - impossible behavior!

Hi,

I was looking at Starshine on 7/5 (I think - I have lost my recording paper), 
and I tracked it (started around +4.5, then brightened to +3.5 or +3.0).  
When it was at +3, it seemed to completely stop for several minutes, and I 
never saw the point of light move again (!).  Most probably, it went into the 
Earth's shadow.  Has anyone seen anything like this?
