Just checking whether I got my message across clearly :).
When I said, whether the code is up to date, I meant whether you had the
latest golang.org/x/sys?
But yeah, sounds really weird.
Do you get empty lines or nil at least?
What version of go?
Anyways, I would then go try adding println-s into golang.org/x/sys or try
diving in with delve/gdb.
