I just spent an hour and a half tracking down an obscure bug in my program under Windows which turned out to be caused by my use of "r" instead of "rb". The use of "b" should be documented, as Unix programmers may not be familiar with this nuisance.

it's mentioned in the C docs too but I guess it doesn't cost much to mention it here as well... done.
