Hi Mike:

Thanks for the suggestion.  I think that since I have much less of one 
of the two color developers than I should, that I inadvertently doubled 
the amount that I used for that roll of film.

Since I'm using the 5 liter Kodak single use kit, and since I only mix 
500ml at a time for each roll of film, it can't be a problem with 
exhausted chemicals.
