I'm hoping to use Go on a Raspberry Pi (and am currently waiting patiently for it to arrive)... but this bug worries me: http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/deta

I'm hoping to use Go on a Raspberry Pi (and am currently waiting patiently for it to arrive)... but this bug worries me: http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=909 http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=909 Anyone know if it's a dealbreaker? I'm planning on running a webserver on it, so I imagine a GC bug would likely manifest after running long enough.

The bug affects application dealing with large integers which can be seen as a valid pointer within the program's address space. So, this will affect your app if it deals with large ints. There is also work underway to make the GC more precise which will avoid this problem in future.
