On this thread, the user asked what is the longest unintentional fork that Bitcoin had suffered. From the answers present, Bitcoin never had a >4 block fork until 2012.

It has been 6 years though, and I wonder if there is a more up-to-date statistics on that question, and if any study has been done so far.
