Narrative:
We got an RA after a rapidly upgrading TA. We ended up climbing almost 500 ft. The problem was a rapidly climbing F16. We were at FL230 and he was going to FL220. He had to go what seemed like 90 degrees to level off. His climb rate was too rapid for the TCASII system, I guess. Center was unconcerned as there was no traffic conflict.

Title: FLC OF A FOKKER 100 CLBED IN RESPONSE TO A TCASII RA DUE TO A RAPIDLY CLBING F16 CLBING TO 1000 FT BELOW THEIR ALT.
Narrative: WE GOT AN RA AFTER A RAPIDLY UPGRADING TA. WE ENDED UP CLBING ALMOST 500 FT. THE PROB WAS A RAPIDLY CLBING F16. WE WERE AT FL230 AND HE WAS GOING TO FL220. HE HAD TO GO WHAT SEEMED LIKE 90 DEGS TO LEVEL OFF. HIS CLB RATE WAS TOO RAPID FOR THE TCASII SYS, I GUESS. CTR WAS UNCONCERNED AS THERE WAS NO TFC CONFLICT.
