What steps will reproduce the problem?
---------------------------
package main

import (
    "fmt";
)

func main() {
    c := make(chan int);
    func(s string){}("abcdefg");
    x, ok := <-c;
    fmt.Printf("x is %v, ok is %v\n", x, ok);
}
---------------------------

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If ok is false, then I expect x to be the zero value (as per the last line
of http://golang.org/doc/go_spec.html#Communication_operators).

Instead:
$ ./6.out 
x is 7, ok is false

Note that 7 is the length of the string "abcdefg".


What is your $GOOS?  $GOARCH?
linux amd64
