Exception when loading packer-provisioner-shell during packer build

[mbrgm]

I have a strange problem running packer on a colleague's machine, where loading the packer-provisioner-shell plugin causes an exception without any error output. This happens right at the beginning of packer build, according to the log file. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the error on my own machine, so I'm hoping someone can see a possible cause from the log file or give me further debugging instructions.

• Packer version: 1.1.2, 1.1.3, also tried with 1.1.4-dev (g8510f072a)
• Host platform: Windows 10 x64
• Debug log: https://gist.github.com/e54fa22d39a7eea96d23b527307982a6
• I added the packer.json to the gist, but did not include the scripts, as the builder does not even start. Tell me if I should add them as well.

this is pretty odd. I think this is related to golang/go#22149

Could you please update to the latest go release and recompile? packer <= 1.1.3 was compiled with go 1.9 and after a brief glance at the issue I think this is solved in go 1.9.2

@mwhooker We checked with the 1.2.0 release and the crash did not happen, so that seemed to solve the problem. Thank you!

great! packer 1.2.0 was compiled with go 1.9.4, so looks like it probably was related to that
