read real*8 binary

Dear group,

I have a fortran program which writes a real array into a binary file.  
This binary file I could read without problems using  
Import["..."."Real32"]; But when I changed real to real*8 in the  
fortran program I could not read the file anymore (I used "Real64"  
instead of  "Real32"), meaning I get numbers like 10^275. I used the  
same fortran compiler (ifort 10) and the same computer (Mac Pro) in  
both computations.
Anyone has an idea why this does not work???

Thank you!

Jan
