HIE printing brownish?? Help

["Kirk B. Davis" <smartcookie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 One again, I call on the photo gurus...
 
 I am trying to print these two rolls of HIE so I can post my stuff for the
 contest.
 I am noticing something strange (Other than myself for a change).
 I noticed that if I used Dektol 1:3 and had a 3 min or so dev time that my
 prints had a bit of a really light
 brown hue to them.
 
 I thought it could be my Tompson Safelight (a real monster) so I left a
 sheet of paper out for about
 10 mins under the safelight and developed it.  I did in fact have a change
 in color from white to a greyish brown color.
 What is up with this??  The paper is Ilford RC Glossy and is about 2 years
 old (no refridge, probably got pretty hot)
 If I print without the safelight and run it though it still doesn't look
 completly right, the greys don't look grey they look greyish brown.
 There are a lot of factors at work here.  I just have my darkroom back up
 with a lot of new equipment, like a coldlight.
 Please let me know where to start.
