The problem is fixed upstream here:

    https://github.com/golang/go/commit/914db9f060b1fd3eb1f74d48f3bd46a73d4ae9c7

but that commit does not apply cleanly to the current Debian version.
I've attached an equivalent patch that does, but I didn't manage to
preserve the original author, date, etc.  Please use the original
metadata from the github commit if you decide to apply this.
