Yes, I'm quoting his words above in the original PR.

http://www.nicemice.net/par/

« The latest version of Par, released on 2001-Apr-29 »

Par does not seem to be updated on a regular basis, it is rather stable.
So I don't think an update  will soon be available.  Discussion with the
author has happened  by the end of  last year, and I  haven't heard from
him  since  then.  Furthermore,  the  problem  only arises  on  FreeBSD,
because it's  the only system I  know of that includes  the non-breaking
space in the class of space characters in the Standard C Library.
