You have included the version number, but since you are not running
the latest released version you should specify why you believe the
problem is not fixed in that version as per REPORTING BUGS:

  The complete output of parallel --version. If you are not running
the latest released version you should specify why you believe the
problem is not fixed in that version.

Jessin Janice J.: Do you have programs running that have no names
(similar to what K.IEMURA describes)? If so: What are those programs?
This will give you their pids:

  ps -a -opid,cmd | grep -v '[0-9] .'
