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.
