The problem may be with the batch of TMAX 400 film. Have you tried either film from another source or TMAX 100? TMAX films were originally created using D-76 as the developer so there should be no compatibility problems. You might even want to contact Kodak with the lot # of the film to see if they have had any other complaints.
