sort command discards entries in output file

I have run on HP-UX 11.00 the command:
sort -k 1.17,1.19 -o output_file sorted_file
I found that there are missing lines in the output file.
When I run the same command on HP-UX10.20 - there is no problem with the outputfile. The problem occurs only with some files and there is not dependency with the size of the file.
Any ideas what might be the problem?

Hi,

Latest sort patch is PHCO_27565 which supersedes the previous patches.

Re: sort command discards entries in output file

Hi:

You say that the problem "only occurs with some files". What's unique about those files compared to others that work?

Regards!
