This fixes it for me:

diff --git a/config/BuildSystem/logger.py b/config/BuildSystem/logger.py
index 9af1dcb..8878990 100644
--- a/config/BuildSystem/logger.py
+++ b/config/BuildSystem/logger.py
@@ -41,6 +41,8 @@ class Logger(args.ArgumentProcessor):
   def __getstate__(self):
     '''We do not want to pickle the default log stream'''
     d = args.ArgumentProcessor.__getstate__(self)
+    if 'logBkp' in d:
+        del d['logBkp']
     if 'log' in d:
:
       if d['log'] is Logger.defaultLog:
         del d['log']

which means some change to the basic configure objects is not respecting
the logging rules,
which also explains why the parallel configure is now broken again.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
