I think that since I have much less of one of the two color developers than I should, that I inadvertently doubled the amount that I used for that roll of film. Since I'm using the 5 liter Kodak single use kit, and since I only mix 500ml at a time for each roll of film, it can't be a problem with exhausted chemicals.
