a strange message when executing the sort command

Dear all,
when I issue the command:
gunzip -c file.gz |sort
the command is executed normally and correctly but a message keeps appearing everytime I run the command:

the message:
sort: missing NEWLINE added at end of input file STDIN

Does anyone know what is the meaning of this message?
Thanks in advance
