EDIT: A bit late ¬_¬

Same for me:
Code:
tukuyomi@dejikochan:~/test$ cat file
abc,12345
pqr,51223
mno,72121
stu,34567
aaa,12345
pqp,11224
plm,72121
zxy,88888
fgh,12345
jkl,88888
tukuyomi@dejikochan:~/test$ ./script.sh
abc,12345,3
pqr,51223,1
mno,72121,2
stu,34567,1
aaa,12345,3
pqp,11224,1
plm,72121,2
zxy,88888,2
fgh,12345,3
jkl,88888,2

Can you tell which version of which shell you are using?
Something like
Code:
echo $SHELL
$SHELL -version
$SHELL --version

can probably tell you those informations
