10five questions:
11
121. What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?
132. What operating system and processor architecture are you using?
143. What did you do?
154. What did you expect to see?
165. What did you see instead?
17
18General questions should go to the
19[golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts) instead
20of the issue tracker. The gophers there will answer or ask you to file an issue
21if you've tripped over a bug.
