  Why did you use 1:100? Using normal agitation, development time for those
films is around 7-10 minutes.
  I think your tests show that 1:100 is too strong for stand development;
I've never had the urge to do it, but most information I've seen refers to
using it at 1:300 or even higher dilutions.
  Also, supposedly, TFX-2 (Photographers Formulary) is good for stand
development.
