The white borders remain pure white, so I should not be blaming the
safelight. Only the hightlights in the picture starts to get a wee bit
greyish. I suspect that even RC paper can get overdeveloped.
Mark's suggestion about the additional Bromide restrainer might be the
antidote if I want to develop up to 2 minutes. From the various posts, 2
minutes seem to be the optimum development time for cooler climates with
water temperatures of 20 degC. On the other hand I have just added a
metronome to my darkroom arsenal and I can now stop print development at 60
seconds using my ambient room temperature of 27 degC.
