Gnu parallel missing bash argument?
When I try to use the parallel gnu semaphore, any command results in:
/bin/bash: -c: option requires an argument
For example:
parallel --semaphore --verbose sleep 1000
/bin/bash -c
/bin/bash: -c: option requires an argument
Why is nothing being passed to bash?
Am on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (GNU / Linux 3.2.0-84-generic x86_64), GNU bash, version 4.2.25 (1) -release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), parallel to GNU 20121122.

When I got to the version I was using for my question, I came across this in the version statement. It might seem nice if this print is printed whenever a parallel job is done (no -quiet sign or whatever!)
koman@erasmus> parallel --version
