Hello!

There is no need for a panic in test/nilptr.go if array doesn't get
allocated in first 256 meg of memory. The compiler has nothing to do
with this.


Tested on alphaev68-pc-linux-gnu where it "fixes" the failure.

After proposed patch(es), the only remaining failure on
alpha-linux-gnu is in test/chan/select2.go:

FAIL: go.test/test/chan/select2.go execution,  -O2 -g

with

The test works without problems otherwise. I suspect that memory
consumption threshold is set way too low...

Uros.

This is true but this does not seem like the right patch.

This patch makes this test pretty much useless: if the linker changes,
the test will always pass, and nobody will ever notice that the test is
no longer being run.

I think I would prefer to just change go-test.exp to mark this test as
xfail on Alpha.  A patch to do that is preapproved.
