Response to Microdol X - How does this product compare to xtol?

I've never had a processing problem that was specific to one film, so hopefully someone else here will have some clues. T-Max is tough to fix, so you might have some spots that aren't fully fixed. These are usually near the edges, however. White spots on the prints mean black spots on the neg. It's either chemical contamination that converts to silver, or some surface debris that sticks to the neg. See if you can scrape it off, or if it seems to be part of the emulsion (on a scrap frame!). Are the spots perfectly round or irregular? Pour some developer into a clear bottle and hold it up to the light- see any particulates floating around?
