Leading edge devices

Has anybody ever heard of an icing accident involving an airplane with leading edge flaps/slats etc? All the t/o icing problems I recall are with hard L/E... short 9, F-28, etc. Seems like leading edge devices greatly reduce or eliminate the icing problem. Disregard the SAS MD & the DCA 737. Both of them flew, but failed to maintain flight due to lack of thrust.
