I did some testing:

/tmp/longdata.pl:
--------
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Generate three rows:
# foo
# longdatalongdatalongdata...
# bar
#
# The length of the middle row is given as command line arg.
#

my $bytes = $ARGV[0];

print "foo\n";
for(my $i = 0; $i < $bytes; $i+=8){
print "longdata";
}
print "\n";
print "bar\n";
--------

postgres=# copy longdata from program 'perl /tmp/longdata.pl 100000000'
with (parallel 2);

This gets stuck forever (or at least I didn't have the patience to wait
it finish). Both worker processes are consuming 100% of CPU.
