What's the maximum run length that you see in packets that _do_ work?
My understanding from talking to Johnathan is that he has some
packets that work that have 17-bit runs in them (post-whitener).
(Not sure if they're ones or zeros.)

This makes me think that the 8b/10b "solution" is premature, given
that the problematic symptom is not yet nailed-down.

In summary, create the smallest test case you can that reproduces the
problem.  When you've got that under control, figure out the next
step.

I suspect that some adjusting of control loop constants may be in order.
