This should be
bin_all = bin:read("*a")
"*all" probably triggers one line's worth instead of the whole file

No, "*a" is just an abbreviated form of "*all" so it works as intended. Similarly, "*l" is a shortened "*line". For that matter, you can also use "*abraham" and "*lincoln" to the same effect.
