Parallel builds in gitlab fails with ERR_STREAM_NULL_VALUES

Current Behavior

A parallel build (run-many) fails in gitlab-ci with:

TypeError [ERR_STREAM_NULL_VALUES]: May not write null values to stream

Steps to Reproduce

Seems to be an issue since NX 13.4.4

In our gitlab-ci

pnpm nx  run-many -- --all --target=build --prod --parallel --maxParallel=3
# Fails with npm as well
# and with the default parallel settings as well.
# only `parallel=1 fixes the problem

nx.json

  "tasksRunnerOptions": {
    "default": {
      "runner": "@nrwl/workspace/tasks-runners/default",
      "options": {
        "parallel": 3,
        "cacheDirectory": "./.cache/nx",
        "cacheableOperations": ["build", "lint", "test", "e2e", "build-storybook"],
        "useDeamonProcess": true
      }
    }
  },

Just an update - my “intermittent” issues (noted above) have gone away. Everything all good again - using:

        "@nrwl/cli": "13.5.3",
        "@nrwl/cypress": "13.5.3",
        "@nrwl/eslint-plugin-nx": "13.5.3",
        "@nrwl/jest": "13.5.3",
        "@nrwl/linter": "13.5.3",
        "@nrwl/tao": "13.5.3",

Also switch to:

        "jest": "27.4.7",
        "jest-canvas-mock": "^2.3.1",
        "jest-preset-angular": "~11.0.1",

It looks like the file with the terminal output wasn’t written. I sent a PR showing the error: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/pull/8623
