Re: GNU Parallel Bug Reports pipes and block size

[Ole Tange]

Hi Luis.

>From the man-page:

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, echo, and sleep can reproduce most
errors.

You have included the first by including the path, but your example
does not contain enough to be reproducible by others.
