Bad advice for this problem Rich:

A glitch resistor would not have helped his problem, which you 
might have missed. It was long term dissipation that damaged the 
anode.

A fuse, better still a circuit breaker, or even better self-bias in the 
cathode is the solution for long term dissipation from self-excitation.
