  Actually 01 is an octal number ;)

  (In fact, that's another place where you can shoot yourself in the foot
with C. You might sometimes write something like "i = 011;" to "indent" the
number with other similar numbers and then you are surprised when the
program behaves very strangely...)

  This is actually one place where the compiler assumes that the user
really wanted an octal number and that it wasn't just a mistake.
