Ah! Mea culpa; I do indeed have enabled it in my properties. Haven't touched it for a year, so it had completely slipped my mind.

Anyway, the wiki should perhaps mention that parallel execution should be off? I spent several days trying to find the reason for the failure until I just happened to try --no-parallel.

My linux build seem to work with parallel on, but that is perhaps only by pure luck?

I'm using gradle 4.3.1, BTW.
