How is that "accidentally" done?  ACLs?

I ran into a performance issues eons ago on a 6500 (sup2/msfc2) running BGP 
and ACLs on three interfaces - the knee jerk reaction was to rip out BGP so I 
never had a good opportunity to debug futher.  I'm right now planning on 
flipping BGP back up but if ACLs are going to impact me, that might be 
something good to know in advance.
