I need help with adapting tests.

I change the integer the equivalent string in chmod.py (eg. 0444 to S_IRWXU
and S_IRWXG and S_IRWXO) but there is problem ahead into the program and
the test fails at this point -

s = S_IMODE(os.stat(test.workpath('f1'))[ST_MODE])
test.fail_test(s != 0444)

What do I do about this?
