What version of Go are you using (go version)?
go version go1.10.1 windows/amd64
Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?
Yes.
What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?
set GOARCH=amd64
set GOBIN=
set GOEXE=.exe

set GOHOSTOS=windows
set GOOS=windows
set GORACE=

What did you do and what happened?
I'm learning Go and I decided to make a few little programs to get comfortable with the language. Usually the executables are ~1MB. But when I tried to compile the following program, the compilation took a long time and the executable was ~800MB.

What did you expect to see?
I expected the executable to be ~1MB, because I tried a similar program, but without the explicit initialization of the first element of the array to 1, and it worked fine. Like the other times, the executable was ~1MB.
