Maybe you blew up the

Don't see how that's possible, Jeff, since it's still happy to supply
passive loads that are much heavier, and at a rock solid stable output
voltage.

Here's another way to blow up an LM317 using nearly maximum voltage
ratings:

Just short the input or output to ground and the filter caps will
discharge through the LM317.
