Perl is standard on systems. I hesitate to put more use of it in init
scripts but... Perhaps this would be of use instead of stat just to
work around this problem?
perl -e 'printf("%d\n",(stat($ARGV[0]))[4]);' /tmp # print uid in decimal
0
perl -e 'printf("%o\n",(stat($ARGV[0]))[2]);' /tmp # print mode in octal

My only question now is where did that '4' come from in the mode? But
the last four digits always seem to be correct.
