The default read/write mode is text, in which NULLs are translated to spaces and line-endings are coerced to the convention used by the host OS (thought with OS X being Unix there's a good argument to stop using ASCII 13 and get on board with OS X's modern ASCII 10).
Specifying write as binary will allow you to have the resulting file reflect only what you put into it, without modification.
