The parallel-20170822-1.ppc package errors out when any spawned command returns a non-zero return code.  Example:

# parallel true ::: 1
[returns no error]

# parallel false ::: 1
Use of uninitialized value $opt::termseq in split at /usr/bin/parallel line 3917, <$fh> line 1.

The reason is you added the perl "-w" option on the hashbang line in the parallel script.

# head -1 /usr/bin/parallel
#!/opt/freeware/bin/perl -w

Remove the -w and the jobs work fine again.  Please repackage parallel without the -w option.
