Actually when I first saw the response of "routes renewing constantly" I took it to mean that he was recieving large numbers of updates not have major failure events locally. If my assumption is correct you would see MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ all incrementing quickly as seen through sh ip bgp sum. This could be due to: -Recursive route lookups for Nexthop where the NH is another BGP derived route causing it to come/go while creating new FIB. It's normally good design practice to have the BGP NH reachable via an IGP.
OR -BGP occilations due to using MEDs in a confed or RR configuration. draft-ietf-idr-route-oscillation-00.txt has a good description. Depending upon the number of updates use "debug ip bgp updates " with an ACL scoped enough to keep from killing your router with logging. That's the tough part hopefully the number of updates are small enough you can safely look at all updates for a short period of time.
