Question Flap Failure

I was wondering recently, how many incidences of Flap Failure are normal in the space of a calendar month? Would 5 separate occurences on the same aircraft be considered excessive? How about 2 on successive sectors?
Trying to land a jet airliner flapless on a runway less than 1700m long must have a certain pucker factor...
