Description
by sonia1427:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"gob"
)
func main() {
a := [3]int{2, 1, 0}
b := new(bytes.Buffer)
gob.NewEncoder(b).Encode(a)
err := gob.NewDecoder(b).Decode(&a)
fmt.Println(err)
}
What is the expected output?
<nil>
What do you see instead?
gob: length mismatch in decodeArray

Please provide any additional information below.
This is a little different than issue #459. That regression test on arrays inside of
structs still passes. This naked array (which wasn't allowed at the time of issue #459)
fails. Also, it only seems to fail when a trailing element is zero. Zeros at the
beginning and middle are okay.
