The Go programming language

On darwin amd64 it was impossible to create more that ~132 threads. While investigating I noticed that go consumes almost 1TB of virtual memory per OS thread and the reason for such a small limit of OS thread was because process was running out of virtual memory. While looking at bsdthread_create I noticed that on amd64 it wasn't using PTHREAD_START_CUSTOM. If you look at http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/bsd/kern/pthread_synch.c?v=xnu-1228 you will see that in that case darwin will use stack pointer as stack size, allocating huge amounts of memory for stack. This change fixes the issue and allows for creation of up to 2560 OS threads (which appears to be some Mac OS X limit) with relatively small virtual memory consumption.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
