You're opening the stream in translated (text) mode...

And writing a new-line character.  In text mode, this is translated to
the string "\r\n", at least with most DOS, OS/2 and Win32 compilers.  If
you don't want translation to take place, you need to open the stream in
untranslated mode:
    ofstream outf("out.bin", ios::binary);
A few compilers use `ios::bin' instead of `ios::binary'.
