The "fatal: morestack on gsignal" error is more or less impossible.
Some things that can cause it to happen are

1) C code calls sigaltstack, but the alternate signal stack is too small.
2) C code trashes the TLS slot that stores the value of G during a cgo call.
3) C code fails to correctly preserve registers across a cgo call.

None of these are at all likely.
