I have a Dlugoleki D that I purchased used on TB in '08 that is ready to go any minute; there is a section of the string just above the end of the fingerboard that is just played away. Kind of reminds me of the Looney Tunes cartoons where Bugs would put a candle under a rope and it would come undone, one strand at a time. I am planning on replacing it with the core of a wound gut E [also a Dlugoleki].
I played through a G in the same spot- I replaced that one last fall.
I would say that many festivals and dewey evenings of jamming helped accelerate their demise- had I kept them a little more sheltered from the elements they would still be kicking.
Edit: Came home and it has popped. Lots of rain here, very humid.
