 From the go 1.9 release notes:

"Known Issues
There are some instabilities on FreeBSD that are known but not 
understood. These can lead to program crashes in rare cases. See issue 
15658. Any help in solving this FreeBSD-specific issue would be 
appreciated."

( link is to https://github.com/golang/go/issues/15658 )

Having said that, we use it internally and have not seen any issues with 
it ourselves. Just I am wary of the release notes, and that issue report.
