I didn't test this but ... , are you counting newlines?

wc hn.txt 26 371 1986 hn.txt

are newlines special? There are only like 10 \n in whole file.

\r too ?

\r too. I just don't get it. I think the error message is telling me the limit is 2000 but really the limit is like 1500 or something much lower.
