          According to this bug report



          In the utility source code: column.c It defines MAXLINELEN as 2048 + 1



          If your input contains a line which its length is > 2048 you'll get this error.



          In order to solve it, you should make sure that the length of the lines in your input is < 2048, or replace the 'column' utility with another one.

          The input file should be ended with newline character 'n'.

            This does not answer the original question, because all the input lines in the example from chrisjean.com/view-csv-data-from-the-command-line in the question already end with the n newline character.
