The following lines cause 8g to report a fatal error:

    len := int64(100)   
    records := make([]int, len) 
    println(records[len-1])


8g reports:

    8g indexBug.go
    indexBug.go:7: fatal error: split64 int32

If the first line (line 5) is changed to:

    len := 100

the program compiles and runs fine.  Note that 6g compiles both versions.

A full listing of the test program is given below:    

package main

func main(){    
    len := int64(100)
    records := make([]int, len) 
    println(records[len-1])
}
