	// x is no longer live. Garbage collect the [32]*int on the

	runtime.GC()
	// At this point x's dead stack slot points to dead memory.

	// Trigger a sigpanic. Since this is an implicit panic, we
	// don't have an explicit liveness map here.
	// Traceback used to use the liveness map of the most recent defer,
	// but in that liveness map, x will be live again even though
	// it points to dead memory. The fix is to use the liveness
	// map of a deferreturn call instead.
