It happened to me as well and upon advice of this knowledgeable group, I
switched to the 5L size AND used distilled water.  No problems since.

I've just dried and scanned my first roll of Neopan 1600 developed in
XTol 
1:3, and the result is bizarre and unusable. My best guess as to what
went 
wrong is that I didn't mix the XTol enough and there were still
particles 
floating around in it, but, in any event, if you'd be willing to look at

this 200KB image that is a closeup of the scan, and express an opinion
as 
to what those white things are, I'd be grateful. They are not dust: I 
looked at both surfaces of the negative under a microscope with strong 
sidelighting, and no dust was visible. (The object in the foreground is
the 
back end of a seagull, and you are looking at actual pixels as they came

out of the LS4000)

that's an ell followed by a one in the filename.
