Yep, the SMT part is marked with a LINE, which is the + end. I pulled up the gerbers to ensure that the polarity is deffinatly correct.

Strangely, I just put the SMT cap directly across the lab supply (out of circuit) and it survived. Yet in circuit, it doesn't. Assuming that I did something wrong in my circuit, what could a regulator's input or the other two caps do to cause this to blow up?
