Bug in od, cat, etc reading binary files

Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but I could not find mention of
it. I find that when, for example, using "od" to look at a binary file,
if a ctrl-Z is encountered, the reading stops. This is because the
fopen presumably does a "r" rather than a "rb" (a pc-ism).
Other programs like "cat" and possibly others have this problem as
well...
