Another RIFA nasty. I went over to an aunt's house today to fix a lightswitch. She said it had been smoking which seemed a bit unlikely. Turned out to be a dimmer with a RIFA cap in it. Because it's effectively in series with the lamp rather than across the mains it didn't go bang in usual RIFA style. It sat there and smoked for a while.
