I agree. I have the feeling the problem is elsewhere.

So the 2 is present very early.

If I set PARALLEL to 2 then I get the same result:

% setenv PARALLEL 2
% parallel -Dall echo ::: 1
:
2 echo Context:  Non: 5 Ctxgrp:  NonCtxGrp: 2

So:
Is $PARALLEL set?
Are these empty:
  ~/.parallel/config
  ~/.parallelrc
  /etc/parallel/config

I have the feeling one of those contain something that results in the
extra '2'. Maybe something like:

% setenv PARALLEL "--jobs 3 2"
% parallel echo ::: A
2: Command not found.

What is the output of:

% parallel --plain echo ::: A

--plain ignores $PARALLEL and config files.
