I checked the Mercury documentation for information about this bug, but all
I could find is this sentence from the User Guide: "Note: due to a code
generation bug, at the moment LLDS parallelism does not work." I'm not sure
if this is the documentation of the problem.

And the User Guide doesn't state what "LLDS" means. I only found it in the
"Notes on the design of the Melbourne Mercury compiler".
