Going to snipe this one since no response for two months+. The lack of response was not because no one cared (I remember when it was reported). The awkward difficultly is that while this issue# meets the "reproducible" requirement absolutely, it isn't actionable. It isn't a bug. It is n bugs (for some moving value n). WSL fails the golang tests. It also fails the libc tests and the LTP tests. There is a testing related blog entry here and an on unofficial side discussion in #2031 (message).

Constructively, what can be done per Golang#22020 is identify specific test case fails that are blocking any killer golang applications with widespread adoption. This is not an easy task mind, because you'll find that in most cases the problem will be a dupe. But not always, so please report anything you find following the template.
