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

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Another clue: I think it's signal handling related because (a) one of
the values that gets smashed onto the stack is 0x11, which is SIGCHLD,
and (b) if you use gdb to prevent SIGCHLD from being passed to the
process (handle SIGCHLD nopass) it works.

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!
