Unfortunately this is not easy to fix.

It was tried in commit 1a98839, but rolled back because it cause the
SSH-channel to not be 8-bit clean, which meant that this would not
work:

cat foo.iso | parallel --pipe -k -S server gzip > foo.iso.gz

If you can find a solution that allows for the 8-bit clean channel,
please submit a patch.
