Some, but not many actual bugs, but note that the corpus in question:
1. Is developed at a company with a stronger-than-average culture around quality and tests.
2. Already has copious tests.
3. Is mostly in applications that have been shipped in production.
So most of the bugs were already flushed out before we got to the point where we started tightening things. The more interesting question, which we don't have data for, is how much time it took to flush those bugs out the first time and how much the stricter runtime checking affects that. Hopefully it helps users find these kinds of issues faster.
