Oh... you never mentioned that can you tell us what MOS driver you're using and what other components are used? As you can see from my circuit posting, I just stuck your posted circuit together with the NE555 example you pointed me to, I never knew there was more in between...

Beware of cheap film caps, they tend to "fail short" (if they fail) and explode. Electrolytics apparently dont have that behaviour. (At least according to the powerelectronics.com article)
