Your demo program didn't make it, but the bug is in fwrite, and occurs
when you're trying to write to a binary file. The offending line is in
the source file called "stdfwrite.c", one of the stdio source files.
The offending line is:

*(who->filebuf + who->fpos++) = ((!who->binary) && (*ptr == '\n'))?'\r':*ptr;

I'm not a C guru, and this line is nearly incomprehensible, but I'd
guess that this is where it happens.

Since you have the sources, the fix won't be too difficult to make, and I've
noted the problem, and it will be fixed in a future release of the libraries.
