Comment:

 I am very confused as to why setting $PARALLEL=1 helped. The code *only*
 enters the block that contains line 1025 *if* $PARALLEL==1. So the actual
 bug seems to be to blindly trust the user when --parallel is given and
 setting $PARALLEL=1. Instead I suggest to add a second variable
 $HAVE_PARALLEL that is only set to 1 if the test for the "threads" package
 around line 48 succeeds.

 To answer sbrandt's question: teh line was commented out when it was
 decided to not make --parallel the default behaviour of GetComponents.

 This pull request:

 https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/pull/5

 should fix this.
