Can anyone tell me what went wrong with this film?

Have you tried re-fixing?

I noticed that you used an acidic stop bath before the fixer step. I believe you are using an alkaline fixer which should not require an acidic stop bath. I know a water bath is recommended instead. Is it possible that you ran into problems in the fixer step?

I think is weird to discuss what could be wrong with your film when even you are not sure if your equipment works properly...

I have seen that texture with film that was outdated and damaged from overly high humidity, seems to be some kind of reaction with the paper carrier. Was the film in its original sealed foil wrapper? Otherwise I would suspect defective fixer.

As noted, it was the reel. I've run several rolls since from the same era in the same batch of chemicals and they're all fine. Just turns out liquid developer works more evenly than foam!
