RE: Poor job distribution?

[Fratkin, Allyn]

Fantastic!  Works great now.  Thank you for the quick turnaround.  Now I get a 
job distribution of 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1.  Perfect.

Only problem is now I get an error message "tcgetattr: Invalid argument" from 
each job, appears to result from "$remote_pre .= ::shell_quote_scalar('stty 
isig -onlcr -echo;');" on line 3810.  Did you mean "and" rather than "or" on 
line 3798?

I will spread the word to my colleagues about parallel.  Thank you.
