Much obliged guys.  I guess I should have RTFM.

       The  mode  string  can  also include the letter ‘‘b’’ either as 
a last character or as a character between the characters in any of the 
 two-character strings described above.  This is strictly for 
compatibility with ANSI X3.159-1989 (‘‘ANSI C’’) and has no  effect; 
the  ‘‘b’’  is ignored on all POSIX conforming systems, including Linux. 
 (Other systems may treat text files and binary files differently, and 
adding the ‘‘b’’  may  be  a  good idea if you do I/O to a binary file 
and expect that your program may be ported to non-Unix environments.)
