Hello, esteemed parallel maintainers. I don't know if you are still accepting bug reports, but your program did ask me to contact you. This error pops up frequently, and seemingly at random. As you can see in the examples below, it will run perfectly one time, then the next time parallel will return the dreaded "This should not happen" message. Here, to show the simplest case, I am just running a small shell command on the remote servers, but the same error occurs in non-trivial cases as well.
Thanks! Please let me know if any further information would be helpful.
