Keep going to 88.0, maybe you'll get two points ;D nah seriously though, I think this needs loftar's attention

what did you do before that? Did java throw an exception? Can you reproduce the bug on a different character?
It's strange that it hasn't simply given you the stat when you've eaten another item, since the logical thing would be to check if curr_FEPs > max_FEPs whenever you eat, but it depends on loftar's implementation. Have you tried logging out, logging back in, and then eating something else which gives FEPs?
