Could you be using a non-standard shell or an older version of Cygwin?

Hello, I have been an avid user of parallel on Mac OS and Linux over the
last 5 years. But I now find myself using Windows with the following
problem when trying to run parallel in Cygwin.
$ parallel -k echo ::: A B C
sh: -c: option requires an argument
sh: -c: option requires an argument
... never stops
$ parallel --version , however, works just fine.
Any tips on how to fix this?
