Bugs are marked as FIXED when a fix has been committed to the source
code repository.  You can see the fix browsing http://svn.apache.org. 
If you're not sure how to navigate that structure, start at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/tomcat/connectors/trunk/http11/src/java/org/apache/coyote/http11/
and click on the relevant files.  You can see code diffs there as
well.

This is different from marking issues as FIXED when a release comes
out: both approaches have their pros and cons.  We use the former for
many reasons, and prefer to stay that away.

If a bug is marked as FIXED but you can't find a relevant commit, you
do what you did (albeit in a nicer tone if possible ;)) and ask on the
dev@tomcat.apache.org mailing list.
