The bug is a simple one, JCF won't accept the '&' syntax for an octal number.
There's absolutely no doubt that this was the problem, all of my units formatted
correctly except for the one with the two calls to FpChmod in it, and that one
formatted correctly when I changed the octal number to its decimal equivalent.

FWIW: the octal format of specifying numbers is relatively new and IIRC only
available in FPC mode...

'relatively new' is relative. I think octal notation has been available in FPC
since many years.

yes, but it is not available in TP/BP and (IIRC) Delphi... for many out here in the wilds, that qualifies ;)

in any case, yes, it is a relative observation of relativistic properties ;)
