This sounds to me like the PLL is free
running above or below it's maximum
capture frequency.  Try tweaking the
frequency determining components of
the PLL VCO circuit for starters.
Compare the VCO frequency in the
unlocked and locked states to determine
which way to go.  This requires a scope
or counter of course.  If you don't have
such tools,  you can always try guessing :-)
