Logically it would be setuid + setgid + sticky, but it is not defined
in the man page and I don't have the ability to read through the
applicable source code. If it's not available, then I retract my

According to the man page, the valid values for the mask are 0-7 in 4
places, so 8000 would not be a valid value.
