Sorry for the confusion, I'm aware that the escapes are octal and not
decimal.  I was trying to draw attention to the fact that character
codes were written out as escapes and when these got high enough it
would cause the C compiler would bomb out (the code looks as though
it'll do the right thing now).

I really need to be more explicit when I explain things!
