Yeah that is weird. I cannot reproduce the error.

Report bugs to <bug-parallel@gnu.org> or
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=parallel

Your bug report should always include:

* The output of parallel --version. If you are not running the latest
released version you should specify why you believe the problem is not
fixed in that version.

* A complete example that others can run that shows the problem. A
combination of seq, cat, echo, and sleep can reproduce most errors. If
you example requires large files, see if you can use make them by
something like seq 1000000>file.

If you suspect the error is dependent on your distribution, please see
if you can reproduce the error on one of these distibutions:
