is delta 3200 very fragile?

from Joe H (joe1013_@excite.com)
i was loading a roll (my first) of delta 3200 on the reel and it started feeling like it was misaligning so i tried to pull it out and start over when it just tore right in half about the middle of the roll, i do not believe i put much pressure on the film, it just tore very quickly with little force... anyway i loaded it on in two pieces and developed it and the negatives look fine (except the nice frame that was torn in half).... i was just wondering if delta 3200 is known for tearing easily or being extremely fragile? there are a couple of frames on that roll i would have been very upset about if they were the ones that ended up in two pieces...

thanks

joe

ps- thanks ed and everyone for the suggestions on developing this film, i used the xtol 1:1 and think the negatives are great, i'm confident i'll be able to make some nice prints (hopefully tonight) from my first roll
