Motivations: * Use of strconv.ParseInt does not properly treat integers as 64bit, preventing this function from working properly on 32bit machines. * Use of io.ReadFull does not properly detect truncated streams when the file suddenly ends on a block boundary. * The function blindly trusts user input for numEntries and allocates memory accordingly. * The function does not validate that numEntries is not negative, allowing a malicious sparse file to cause a panic during make. In general, this function was overly complicated for what it was accomplishing and it was hard to reason that it was free from bounds errors. Instead, it has been rewritten and relies on bytes.Buffer.ReadString to do the main work. So long as invariants about the number of '\n' in the buffer are maintained, it is much easier to see why this approach is correct.

The Go Programming Language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.
Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html
Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.
Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

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 file). 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-source.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 https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
