Comment on Bitcoin 0.8.6 Released: Updates Block Size Limits, Free Transactions, OS X Bugsparent

Comments

This seems like a reasonably strong claim - and has the post title, "Claiming Bitcoin's Bug Bounty":

The corruption explained there matched the pattern seen in representative cases supplied by the core team.

The core team may not have yet awarded the bounty, and there were a few other possibly contributing factors regarding proper use of LevelDB on OSX before the above work... but there's certainly a strong case made that a real fix has been discovered and deployed.
