Follow-up Comment #1:

So to clarify, this bug report is about calling parcellfun with fewer output
variables than the function normally returns, is that right?

As a workaround, you can easily silence the remaining return values with the
'~' placeholder, for example


[A, B, ~, ~] = parcellfun (nproc, fn, ...)


But it is true that most Octave functions will silently ignore additional
return values when the caller doesn't use them, and it would probably be nice
for parcellfun / pararrayfun to behave the same way.
