Retraction watch is a pretty good resource for this type of thing: They have categories for "doing the right thing" - http://retractionwatch.com/category/doing-the-right-thing/ where a researcher corrects their own error, as well as data issues category, which covers many of the computing errors - http://retractionwatch.com/category/by-reason-for-retraction/data-issues/.
