To be fair, reading the referenced bug report it looks like the corruption has only being reported by one user. Apparently no one else has reproduced it, and faulty memory has not been ruled out as a suspected cause.

It is prudent to mention in the release notes, but doesn't quite seem worth holding up the release for.

Just make sure it doesn't end up under your brake pedal instead :/

As can just about any of the Sansa players.
