grep line length limit

Hi Friends,

I am having a funny problem with grep. When I run
grep 'expr' file.txt
things work fine. But when try to get the line number using the -n option, i.e,
grep -n 'expr' file.txt
I get a message, "grep: 0652-226 Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded."

If the line has more than 2048 characters, then I should have got the error in the first case also. Can somebody please explain why the error is only with the -n option? I am running on AIX 5.1.0.0

Thanks.
