That suggests your read operations assume textmode.

Do you store the file length in the first sizeof(retSize) byte(s)?
You now read sizeof(retSize) bytes of data and store them in *retSize.
Now you consider retSize as a size_t and read that many bytes into
Buffer. Are you sure this is what you want?
