Does this mean that this is a call to close file descriptor 8?
According to the strace log, the file descriptor we care about is 4.
Although it is also true that I don't see a close of file descriptor 8
at all in the strace log.  Or is the change from 4 to 8 due somehow to
running the program under gdb?

If this is indeed the file descriptor we care about, then this is
interesting, because it is being closed by a finalizer run by the
garbage collector.  That implies that the garbage collector collected
the local variable readFile in TestPassFD in passfd_test.go, which
would be clearly wrong.  Unfortunately this could be rather difficult
to debug.
