To expand on that a little, under (most?) unixes, there is no difference
between "text" and "binary" mode for files. In
Windows, however, reading a file opened in text mode converts \r\n (CR/LF pair)
to \n, while writing does the converse -
i.e. \n gets written as \r\n - this is the extra byte you are seeing.
