LINUX SORT command chops results

I am trying to sort a file . The file looks like this:
Code:
DDFF 2 /ztpfrepos/pgr/load
DDFQ 2 /ztpfrepos/pgr/load
DDFX 2 /ztpfrepos/pgr/load
DDUA 2 /ztpfrepos/pgr/load

My command:
Code:
sort -k1 /home/c153507/Bin/OPL1.txt -o /home/c153507/Bin/OPL1.txt

The results are OK except for one line where the line is chopped in the middle:

Code:
EUXF 2 /ztpfrepos/pgr/load
EUXG 1 /ztpfrep
EUXG 2 /ztpfrepos/pgr/load

Can anyone think of a reason / fix ?

Thanks!!
