cudppSort error for a large array

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. tar -xzvf sort_test.tar.gz
2. cd sort_test
3. make
4. ./testsort 1000000

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected :
before sort
radix sort : 0.00833379 s 1000000 elements

what I see :
before sort
radix sort : 0.00833379 s 1000000 elements
sort error 4 720476 541723

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This is a simple test to use cudppSort. 
For a small array, it passes the test, but for a large array, it fails.
It also fails in cudpp_testrig as follows.

$./cudpp_testrig -sort -n=1000000

If this is a driver version mismatch, please let me know which driver 
version is needed. Thank you.
