We managed to install 3.0e.1U on the third attempt five days ago.
Here are my "Top 3" bugs identified so far:

3. mailx: missing setgid(getgid()) before execing EDITOR.
   => Users get rw access to /usr/mail/*
2. passwd: missing ulimit call.
   => ulimit 0;passwd  nukes /etc/passwd
1. shl: crashes system (kernel panic 0xE) when executed from
   /dev/ttyM0[01].

I'd appreciate independent verification (also on other SysV).
Complaints to the vendors, followups to the newsgroup.
