When a file is opened in text mode in Windows, CR/LF translation is
performed.  If it is opened in binary mode, there is no translation.  I
would assume that stdout gets opened in text mode.

From VC++ 5.0 help:
"Also, in text mode, carriage return–linefeed combinations are translated
into single linefeeds on input, and linefeed characters are translated to
carriage return–linefeed combinations on output."

"binary mode...translations involving carriage-return and linefeed
characters are suppressed."
