A lot more than once: they had 40 instances of their app, and the bug was only triggered by getting two requests on the same instance.
A bunch of developers including me once spent a whole weekend trying to reproduce a bug that was affecting production and/or guess from the logs where to look for it. Monday morning, team lead called a meeting, asked for everything we could find out, and… Opened the app in six tabs simultaneously and pressed the button in question in one of the tabs. And it froze! Knowing how to reproduce on our computers, we found and fixed the bug in the next 30 minutes.
