Um... I think you are mistaking the protection for the size.  This
looks like a TOPS-20 site, which keeps file protections in octal
fields of self, group, and world.  The 775656 means that self has all
privs, and that group and the world can read, execute, append, and
"dir" the file.  The actual size of the file is 195 TOPS-20 pages,
which ends up being in real life about 487K (still not too small).
The possible file attributes are:

		read	40		append	04
		write	20		dir	02
		execute 10		unused	01
