Hi Keith,

Thanks for the helpful (and quick) reply!  I gather you're right about not 
applying checkptr to Go's own test suite.  I applied your patch, tried 
again, and started hitting failures in tests that were written for specific 
past issues.  These seem like false positives.

Do you have other suggestions for how to debug this problem?  I tried 
checkptr because when I ran the test suite and it failed with a panic 
message, that's what the panic message from the runtime said to try.

Thanks!
