Before filing a bug, please check whether it has been fixed since
the latest release: run "hg pull -u" and retry what you did to
reproduce the problem.  Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. the issue can be repro with the following code:
package main

import ( "time"; "fmt" )

func main() {
    t0 := time.NewTicker(1e9)
    t0.Stop()
    time.Sleep(1e9)
    for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
        ticker := time.NewTicker(5e8)
        select {
        case <-ticker.C:
            fmt.Printf("time out for reqest %d\n", i)
        }
        ticker.Stop()
    }
    fmt.Printf("client exit\n")
}

2. should see 3 "time out" printouts
3. deadlock instead

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
