Piece of education needed for me here. The glitch resistor is there to 
limit fault current in event of a flash-over. The only source of these big 
currents is from the filter capacitor and the only route for the current 
back to that cap is via the 25R resistor. So why does the resistor need to 
be in the +ve line.
