MacBook Pro MagSafe Power Adapters Fraying/Melting?

Shaun Inman:

I’m considering purchasing a 17 inch to serve as my primary machine and was pricing out an extra battery and power adapter for travel when I came across a number of reviews on the Apple Store claiming that these cords tear, fray and even melt. Would anyone who has had a MacBook Pro for a while care to comment on their experience with these adapters?
