Circuit schematic suggests to me it is a shunt, bit not of
classic variety.  It appears it has to dissipate heat either
no-load or high-load, for different reasons, but high-load
looks worse to me.  Four semicon devices maybe about near
their rating in the watts department.  Shouldn't design 'em
that way.
