Same here. I've had recent updates break bind-chroot (it changed the 
configuration on me), kernel (the U3 kernel kswapd went runaway on a daily 
basis), and httpd (the update changed the ownership on /var/lib/dav from 
apache.apache to root.root - breaking my WebDAV locks).

I would never even _consider_ using automatic updates.
