I uploaded version 3.1.0-2 of the parallel package, which contains a 
variation of the simple test above as a unit test in file 
debian/check.m.  It seems that parcellfun produces the correct result in 
all architectures (for instance, in mips [1]).

I am hereby downgrading the severity of this bug report to "normal". This 
will prevent the autoremoval of the package from testing.

Please, feel free to upgrade the severity again, in case you can provide 
a script that triggers the bug.
