最近发生了一个非常奇怪的问题。我的程序运行在一个有8GB内存的Docker上，当恐慌发生时使用了4GB。可用内存超过4GB，为什么会发生这种情况？下面是紧急堆栈输出。
# ulimit -m
unlimited
# go version
1.6.2
我试着反复运行代码行，使用的内存增长到了5GB左右，但恐慌没有再次发生。

这会调用
runtime.makeslice()runtime.makeslice(0xa38840, 0x3ecc38680, 0x3ecc38680, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
/usr/local/go1.6.2/src/runtime/slice.go:32 +0x165 fp=0xea27f3c900 sp=0xea27f3c8b0
go 1.6的源代码如下：slice.go:
func makeslice(t *slicetype, len64, cap64 int64) slice {
...
}
用参数调用：
runtime.makeslice(0xa38840, 0x3ecc38680, 0x3ecc38680, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
第二个值是长度，即
0x3ecc38680 = 16857138816
您试图创建一个包含16*109个以上元素的切片。如果切片的元素类型至少需要1个字节（不包括零大小的类型），则大约需要16 GB！这只是一个较低的估计。显然，如果有8 GB的可用RAM，此操作将无法成功。
另外，请更新您的go，1.6.2已经快3岁了，不再支持（甚至没有收到安全补丁）。
