We figured it out while talking to SCO Support.  It seems that I had
many of the SLS fixes, and had installed VP/ix.  This made the system
report version 2.3.3 as being installed: but we had never added update
R.

Adding update R added the truncating versions of uux, etc.  All seems
to be OK, so far.  I'll put the system names back and see what happens.
