Really bad. I would think this bug needs fast attention. If you download a
package from a 3rd party that has buffer overflows and is setgid, you now have a
buggy program with buffer overflows running as root. Any setgid installation that
fails should never revert to root, it should fail immediately and let the admin
take care of it.

Was this filed in bugzilla?
