  It looks like ppl are having similar trouble with some SSR's.... I  
imagine it must only be _some_, but which 8)
Just checked element14 and you can get them for as little as $10 for 8A  
240V. They still need a snubber. Interestingly the SSR datasheet mentions  
that zero crossing SSR (and I assume triac/driver) combo will not work  
well for loads with poor power factor... I wonder if this is a problem  
with SMPS, not so much pf but the spikey nature of the current.
  ok, this looks like an idea for the future. In the meantime I have triacs  
etc...
