DiXactol developer

Today I examined the Tri-X negatives that I developed in DiXactol and found they had what appeared to be a chemical fog most noticeable around the sprocket holes of the negative. I am wondering what could have caused this. Before I develop another test roll I was wondering if anyone has experience with DiXactol. I'm not quite clear on what could cause chemical fog on negatives except leaving the developer in contact for an extended period of time. DiXactol is capable of being a one-shot or two bath developer. I used the former. My ideas on what could have caused this may be impurities in water supply, possible temperature shift somewhere during the processing? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
