I have been away, but have just checked on a few bugs for fixing in the 5.0 release:
These may already be in some list but...

   Bug #
1. 55029     pause             hangs (at least in Fedora 29)

2. 55072     printf              documentation of printf is pretty useless.
                                       It recursively refers to itself.

3. 55028     print()            segfaults for multiple print commands in a file.
                                       (at least in Fedora 28/29)

I will try to isolate #55028, but it seems to depend on a lot of context.
And, it was fixed several months ago, but (maybe depending on Fedora
version) is broken again now. I can only test on Fedora 29.

Obviously, seg faults are pretty discouraging for users, so there should
be a general rule that all known seg faults should be, if at all possible,
fixed for a release.
