Hi Ron,
This took me a second.  I took a 10,000 line file, and sorted it under
Jr/2 with no problem.
Reading your above message more closely, it seems that you want Jr to
*remove* duplicate lines for you.  This is not something that Jr has
ever done.  If there are duplicate lines in the file when Jr starts
sorting, it leaves them there.
Hope this helps.
