I love you, Neil Johnson and Oscar Salas!

In my layouts, since the 2164 V- pin is on the "wrong" side of the chip (the
same side as the V+ pin), I have to connect it to the rail with a jumper.
Replace that jumper with a Schottky diode, and I'm done!

Thanks 10^6 for taking this to such a satisfying conclusion.
