We've investigated a bit more and it seems to be a process from the iLok
license manager, which comes with Steinberg Cubase. Hooray for rootkits in the
name of copyprotection.

Last time someone submitted this as an error it was due to criminals
using the system. They had changed the command name to show nothing in
'ps' to hide their presence. This command:
ps -o pid,ppid,command -ax
should give 3 columns like this:
PID PPID COMMAND
1 0 /sbin/launchd
10 1 /usr/libexec/kextd
11 1 /usr/libexec/UserEventAgent -l System
12 1 /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder -launchd
13 1 /usr/libexec/opendirectoryd
14 1 /usr/sbin/notifyd
Your process with PID 59 does not have a command name and looks
somewhat like this:
PID PPID COMMAND
1 0 /sbin/launchd
59 1
11 1 /usr/libexec/UserEventAgent -l System
It *might* be a normal situation, but before GNU Parallel regards it
as normal, I need you to figure out what PID 59 is doing and why it is
hiding.
