Could it be partially a function of the redeveloper?  I've had some Ilford
IV prints that have  not had any light yellow cast in the highlights or borders
at all, and some that have.  I've used fresh Dektol 1:10, old Dektol, fresh
LPD 1:8 and old LPD (1:2).  Of course, in my haste I didn't take notes
 :-( .  Next time I will.
