In CL 405901 the definition of exit in the Plan 9 go runtime
was changed like so:
- status = append(itoa(tmp[:len(tmp)-1], uint64(e)), 0)
+ sl := itoa(tmp[:len(tmp)-1], uint64(e))
+ // Don't append, rely on the existing data being zero.
+ status = tmp[:len(sl)+1]
However, itoa only puts the converted number "somewhere" in the buffer.
Specifically, it builds it from the end of the buffer towards the start,
meaning the first byte of the buffer is a 0 byte, and the resulting string
that's passed to exits is empty, leading to a falsely successful exit.
This change uses the returned value from itoa, rather than the buffer
that was passed in, so that we start from the correct location in the
string.
Fixes #53669
