3550 and spantree problem

Has anyone had problems when connecting the 3550 to another switch. such as
a 5000 or 1900, and configuring the 3550 as the root switch? When I do this
the spantree loop protection seems to fail.

If I take a 3550 and 1900 with default configs and connect them together via
2 ports, the 1900 becomes the root and one port on the 3550 goes in to
blocking mode. If I change the root to the 3550 by reconfiguring either
switch, both ports go in to forwarding and stay there. I have also tried
this with a 3550 and 5000 with the same results.

The 3550 is running 121-EA9c. Any thoughts?

Thanks
