I am browsing in the Gfortran 4.3.0 manual.
On page 13 there is a mention of a record marker in unformatted files.
It could be that the fortran read is expecting a record marker every so many
bytes.
writeBin most likely has not written  any record marker.

In Fortran 2003  there is a new specifier ACCESS='STREAM'  (similar to Lahey
Fortran ACCESS='TRANSPARENT')(see page 23 of said manual) which will allow
reading files with no record structure.
