There's a bug in your code: numthreads is a pointer to an int variable that is modified by the flag package during the call to flag.Parse, which is usually the first thing done by main. However, the channel you're using as a counting semaphore is created during package initialization, before main and the flag.Parse function are executed, so it always has the default size of 20. Create the channel after flag.Parse and see if that solves your problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
