I've been using Sid for years, and while it's usually perfectly usable,
there are, occasionally, Really Bad Things that happen. The worst one
that happened to me that I recall was this:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491114
In my case, no X, no networking, and everything generally behaving
mysteriously weirdly.
That was more than two years ago, and I may not have been running
apt-listbugs then. In any case, it was this list that saved me (thanks
again, Sven!), although to get to the list, I had to fire up
Windows. [I suppose that I really should keep some sort of stable
installation handy, or at least a live CD]:
