[dba-SQLServer] BCP error too generic

I am getting a failure to import (BCP) some line in a file.  When that happens the process just 
fails with an error

"cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)"

Is there any way to get the row number that triggered the failure?  Or anything else even slightly 
more useful than this pretty darned useless error message?
