Comment (by stefan):

 What do you you get when you run the following code snippet?

 {{{
 import numpy as N

 x = N.arange(16).astype(N.uint16)

 f = file('test.dat','wb')
 hdr = 'x'*1024
 f.write(hdr)
 x[::-1].tofile(f)
 f.close()

 f = file('test.dat')
 f.seek(1024)
 x_ = N.fromfile(f,N.uint16)

 print x[::-1]
 print x_
 }}}

 I see

 {{{
 [15 14 13 12 11 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1  0]
 [15 14 13 12 11 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1  0]
 }}}

 with r3511.
