First a FIFO is made (.tmx). It is used for communicating exit
value. Next a new tmux session is made. This may fail if there is
already a session, so the output is ignored. If all job slots finish
at the same time, then B<tmux> will close the session. A temporary
socket is made (.tms) to avoid a race condition in B<tmux>. It is
cleaned up when GNU B<parallel> finishes.
The input is used as the name of the windows in B<tmux>. When the job
inside B<tmux> finishes, the exit value is printed to a fifo. This
fifo is opened by perl outside B<tmux>, and perl then removes the fifo
(but keeping it open). Perl blocks until the first value is read from
the fifo, and this value is used as exit value.

This FIFO is opened by B<perl> outside B<tmux>, and B<perl> then

times.
Another bug in B<tmux> requires the length of the tmux title and
command to not have certain limits. When inside these limits, 75 '\ '
are added to the title to force it to be outside the limits.
You can map the bad limits using:
perl -e 'map { $a=$_; print map { "$a,$_\n" } (1..17000) } (1..17000)' | shuf > ab;
cat ab | parallel --colsep , --tagstring '{1}{=$_="\t"=}{2}'
tmux -S /tmp/p{%} new-session -d -n '{=1 $_="O"x$_ =}' true'\ {=2 $_="O"x$_ =};echo $?;rm /tmp/p{%}'
> value.csv 2>/dev/null
R -e 'a<-read.table("value.csv");X11();plot(a[,1],a[,2],col=a[,3]+5,cex=0.1);Sys.sleep(1000)'
For B<tmux 1.8> 17000 can be lowered to 2100.
The interesting areas are title 0..1000 with (title + whole command)
in 996..1127 and 9331..9636.
