Other failures have been somewhat more dramatic. I know ipsec-tools, and alsa-lib have both caused pain on at least one occasion after the last 2-3 kernel updates.
alsa-lib is a special case.
alsa-lib exists so that it can mitigate changes between the kernel and userland. If the kernel API changes, alsa-lib may need to be updated, but not all the apps using alsa-lib.
Someone needs to put alsa-lib updating on the list of stuff to do when updating the kernel...
