      This reproduces on a single instance:

      > db.foo.drop()
> for (i=0; i<1000; i++) {db.foo.insert({x:i})}
> db.foo.find().batchSize(100).itcount()
1000
> db.foo.find().sort({x:1}).batchSize(100).itcount()
100

      Here is the correct number of documents:

      mongos> db.ad_campaigns.find({fs:2}).count()
4587

      If you specify a batchSize and a sort, you get fewer than all the documents:

      mongos> function cursorCount(query, batchSize) { var count = 0; var cursor = db.ad_campaigns.find(query).batchSize(batchSize); while(cursor.hasNext()) { cursor.next(); count++; }; return count }
mongos> cursorCount({fs:2}, 100)
3504

      The number of documents returned appears to be K + batchSize, for some K:

      mongos> cursorCount({fs:2}, 101)
3505
mongos> cursorCount({fs:2}, 102)
3506

      K (3404 in this example) happens to match the number of documents matching the query on one shard (ads1):

      ads1> db.ad_campaigns.find({fs:2}).count()
3404

      This relationship between K and the number of records on ads1 is borne out on other queries:

      mongos> db.ad_campaigns.find({fs:5}).count()
9764
mongos> cursorCount({fs:5}, 100)
5249
ads1> db.ad_campaigns.find({fs:5}).count()
5149

      If the batch size is not specified or the cursor is not sorted, the problem goes away:

      mongos> db.ad_campaigns.find({fs:2}).count()
4587
mongos> cursorCount({fs:5}, 2000)
4587
mongos> var count = 0; var cursor = db.ad_campaigns.find({fs:2}).batchSize(100); while(cursor.hasNext()) { cursor.next(); count++; }; count
4587
