I sometimes have a similar problem when my wash water is too cold. I use a fix tester frequently to make sure my fix is still good. Even if it stll tests good I discard it after using three TMax-RS 757ml size containers of developer or after three months, whichever is sooner. I use the developer 1 shot style at 1:9. About 1 out of 50 rolls or 1 out of 50 sheets of large format will still exhibit some residual stain for me.
RS= Replenished Systems....TMAX RS is a great deeptank developer, and even though people seem to use it okay diluted, it's designed to be used full strength as a replenished developer....it works great for TMX though, and you really shouldn't have any problems with fresh rapid fix, and fresh wash aid like hypo clear, or permawash. I don't think this is a dichroic fog problem, but more of a fixer or a problem with the actual tube....
