@howardjohn I'll take a look at this. In general, this is a bug in x/tools/go/pointer. Seems related to this: golang/go#25090

[ro-tex]

I'm experiencing the same thing, if that helps:

This happened when run on this project/branch: https://gitlab.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/-/tree/ivo/gc_backups_dir, SHA de052028f69143e11aa9da17cebdb771946b5753.

@ro-tex Thanks. I'm working on the next version of Chronos so I'll also try to look at this and see if I can find why it failed and maybe push a fix.

I ran into the same issue when trying to check my project, called wormhole-gui.
The reported panic is not exactly the same, so I figured I would share it here as well in case it can be helpful for finding out the issue. The commend that I ran was the following:

~/go/src/github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui $ ~/go/bin/chronos -file=main.go -mod=/home/jacob/go/src/github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui

The result was:

I run into the same problem. Have you solved the problem?

My message was four years ago. I've moved on and just use the regular race detector now.
