GNU Parallel Bug Reports pipes and block size

[Luis Otero]

Hi,

this command:

time /usr/bin/find /n/d -iname '*.go' | /home/Indra/parallel-20110722/src/parallel --pipe p9grep.exe -i luis 

fails sometimes because parallel feeds invalid records into p9grep's stdin (doesn't respect record boundaries).

Stdin length (83967) is well behind the default blocksize.

Apparently it doesn't fail if I reduce the block size (10000, 20000, 30000) below stdin length.

Attached the trace for the good and the bad run.

Thanks,

-luis.
