It is Kodak Rapid Fixer, really sold for print paper, I suppose.
Kodak suggested diluting the fixer, but that didn't help.  The film looks great after development, completely white with black marks where intended.  About 5 seconds after putting it in the fixer, I can see it starting to darken.

I am quite sure the film is not SUPPOSED to look like this, as the pink-orange color is blotchy.  I would expect it to be very consistent if it was the intentional color of the backing.

I am working on getting the right Rapid access developer and fixer, but few shops use silver film anymore, so it is getting harder to get supplies.
