[Bug 1279620] Re: stack corruption running "go install launchpad.net/juju-core/..."

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

So, some playing around reveals:

1) it's not associated with gc (running with GOGC=off and it still
fails)

2) it's associated with processes (if you just create a file in the
expected place using Go code rather than running gccgo -- or even touch!
-- to create it, it doesn't fail)

3) gdb has all sorts of strange problems trying to probe the heap
structures :/

Title:
  stack corruption running "go install launchpad.net/juju-core/..."

Status in “gcc-4.8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is the sort of bug I was hoping we were going to escape in this
  porting effort :(

  It's not frequent, but maybe 10% of the time go install launchpad.net
  /juju-core/... will fail with some kind of memory error. It's not
  exactly the same error every time, but it's consistent with something
  scribbling on the stack.  It doesn't seem to happen if you run pass -p
  1 to install, which limits the parallelism inside the install command,
  so it's probably some kind of race.  Yay!
