I don't want to suggest it that strongly - but the suppressor in the 
TL922 puts noticeably less R in at vhf than others that I measured. As 
I'm always keen to point out, the suppressor isn't the only place you 
can make or kill parasitic oscillation, so maybe it's not an issue in 
that particular design. It's not like there's a shortage of other things 
that could cause the problem.
