A nice academic paper looking at the causes of BGP
errors.  They found
configuration errors are pervasive, with 200-1200
prefixes experienceing
problems due to misconfigurations every day.  But

affect connectivity.

Another important conclusion of the paper is: Not all 
misconfigurations are due to manual errors.
