Thank you for the report. However, that is not a bug.
The problem is that your input is not sorted, and comm
requires that each input stream be sorted.
Using the --check-order option shows the offending line:
$ comm --check-order -1 -3 MNF.lst sketch.lst
11250
comm: file 2 is not in sorted order
[Exit 1]
I've closed this "issue".
