Is there any meaning to the fourth (really first) digit displayed by the
umask command?
It would make sense to display an octal number that can reach up to 0777
as 0077. Remember, a leading 0 is an indication of an octal number, and
9 bits need to be displayed, so umask probably has this a simply
printf("%4.4o") - or maybe printf("0%3.3o") - although a look at the
source would probably confirm (or invalidate) that assumption.
