every great once in awhile I get a screech from the starter when engaged

I have noticed this twice on my '87 SDL. I'll get in and flip the key to start it but it makes the kind of noise a car makes when you engage the starter and it's already running? No, the car is not running in my case but it sounds like it is when the starter's used. The car takes no time at all to start once cranking but I stop as soon as I hear that noise, which is as soon as the starter is engaged. Then when I retry it it works fine. What do you guys think? Could something be amiss with the starter or could the flywheel have broken teeth?

Thanks
David
