Go's built-in data race detector keeps reporting a race between the read of
packConnection.stderrBuf
bycheckError()
and the write to it byioutil.CopyBufferPool
.I must confess that I don't fully understand the rationale here. Can't the goroutine that includes
ioutil.CopyBufferPool(&c.stderrBuf, stderr)
run afterHashshake()
returns? There's no synchronization between the parent and child goroutines; hence, we may miss the stderr.
