Hi Ole,
sorry for the late reply:

It doesn't fail with this command.

Unfortunately I don't have a local file system available on this machine.

>>> my_dir -type l | parallel rm {} '&&' touch {}
I cannot make the randomsleep programme fail for the set of dummy
files, but the original command also fails here. I think it is related
to the quotes used:

Issue 3 (along with 1 and 2) ("This should not happen ....") occurs
only if I use this command line:

find my_dir/ -type f -name *.he5 | parallel --eta
/home/seiser/src/gtproduct-omi-old netcdf -m \'O3.COLUMN\' -fiv
\'O3.COLUMN\' -f \'"CLOUD.COVER<0.fe \'FLAG.QUALITY.PROCESSING\' -o
/dev/shm/asdf {}

However, issue 3 does not occur if I remove the quotes of the command,
find my_dir/ -type f -name *.he5 | parallel --eta
/home/seiser/src/gtproduct-omi-old netcdf -o /dev/shm/asdf {}

where only issue 1 and 2 ("Use of uninitialized value in hash element
at /home/seiser/alt/usr/bin/parallel line 3284, <STDIN> line 834." and
the "{} corruption" appear.

hope this helps,
-Sebastian
