Problem with Tail command --urgent pls

eg: If I execute an example tail statement to put rows from one file to another, it truncates some of the data.

/carrier>wc -l IntIndA.txt
1918 IntIndA.txt
/carrier>tail -1918 IntIndA.txt > test
/carrier>wc -l test
132 test

The tail command should copy 1918 rows to test file instead of 132 rows.
Could anybody please suggest me why this tail command in our unix box (HP-UX)behaves differently.
