bitmapped index with "parallel" OK?

I'm creating bitmapped indexes on a non-partitioned table. If I add "parallel" to the mix of options I get an end-of-channel and the database takes a core dump. If I'm creating local bitmapped indexes on a partitioned table the parallel option is no problem. Also, parallel does not seem to be a problem with b-tree indexes (partitioned table or no).

I've been through the documentation and tired Google but I can't find a definitive answer.

Is "parallel" allowed with bitmapped indexes on non-partitioned tables?
