Comments

This is a runtime issue of runc built with gollvm. It doesn't reproduce for gccgo and golang 1.10.
I am sorry, I didn't know how to make a short example.

helloworld_rootfs.tar.gz contains hello-world container example created using runc manpages:
https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/master/man/runc-spec.8.md

$ docker pull hello-world
$ docker export $(docker create hello-world) > hello-world.tar
$ mkdir rootfs
$ tar -C rootfs -xf hello-world.tar
