Binary output file size missmatch

Hi

I am outputing a variable from grib to binary using fbinrecwrite.
 From the printVarySummary it says there are
Total Size: 1051168 bytes
                262792 values

When I did a ls -l to check the binary file size, I got 1051176, which
is 8 bytes more.
I have no clue where the 8 bytes come from.

The command use
namo="nam_218_20090331_1200_006.bin"
fbinrecwrite (namo,-1, nam_rain)

Thanks
Agnes
