Dear Maintainer,

Running parallel -n 1000 echo {} with a couple --sshlogin's fails to run on the
remote hosts. Investigating via --verbose shows the generated command
fails to run giving line limit exceeded. Lowering to -n 500 then allowed
execution to work. Input file is a ~20,000 line file with full paths of ~200 chars each.

parallel is supposed to detect line length exceeded and fails to do so
in this case.

Hi,

I recently took over maintenance of parallel in Debian and I'm working
on the list of open bugs which are partly very old and refering to old
versions.  I need to admit I'm not a parallel user myself and have no
idea how to reproduce the issue to verify whether it persists in the
current version.

It would be really great if you could update this bug report whether
this issue is solved or not in the recent version and if it persists
please provide some more detailed information how it can be reproduced
to enable me forwarding the issue upstream (upstream author in CC
anyway).

Kind regards

     Andreas.
