Bug with --memfree


From: Rémi Matthey-Doret
Subject: Bug with --memfree
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2016 11:15:16 -0700

Hello,

I received the following message

parallel: This should not happen. You have found a bug. Please contact <parallel@gnu.org> [..]

The version number:
20160822

The bugid:
Less than 1 byte free

The command line being run:
parallel --memfree 5G :::: example.txt

The files being read (put the files on a webserver if they are big)-- 
See attachement ("example.txt")

The issue is very specific to the use of the `memfree` flag. The command `parallel :::: example.txt` works fine.

For extra information: I have 24GB of RAM (Only 9GB currently used), 24 logical cores and run on MAC OS X 10.11.3.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Remi
