OK.  This is what I was looking for.  Then you can say with certainty 
that the suppressor resistors were OK before the oscillation.  So perhaps 
the oscillation did cause the damage.  But then you have to consider all 
of the other factors of the inductor value in the suppressor (too much? 
too little?), other feedback paths, etc.
