great, thanks for fixing this.
One related question: I mentioned in passing in the PR that four go test
invocations in gotools would hang indefinitely. I noticed that they
weren't called with -test.timeout, unlike libgo's gotest. However, in
exceptional cases like this this probably can't be helped short of
adding an external timeout mechanism.
