This might be https://github.com/golang/go/issues/34457 (at least, Brian's repro). When a goroutine finishes, we deallocate its stack, and that deallocation will eventually be given back to the OS. The Goroutine descriptor, however, will live forever. We'll reuse it for new goroutines, but it never deallocates. Goroutine descriptors are currently 376 bytes (on 64-bit archs).
