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.

zfgrep
ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
