I see it dying with either SIGBUS or SIGSEGV. On freefall, I see:
freefall% ./write=20
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) ./write

I've tried further experiments with different hardware and different
loading and get different results: Sometimes I get nothing other than
a coredump and an other times I get part or all of a runtime spill
similar to you. I suspect there may be multiple issues.

As I wrote in my initial mail, I am not certain whether this is a problem
with Go or FreeBSD. And having done some poking at corefiles with gdb
(you need gdb7.6 from ports to grok the Go debug information), I have
found that all my programs are dying at:
mov %gs:0xfffffff8,%ecx
but it seems to be timing related as to when the offending instruction
is executed. I will do some further investigation into how segment
wraparound is handled.

That seems unlikely but I guess it's a possibility.
