```go
for qReq := range qReqChan {
if qReq.RespChan == nil {
log.Fatal("Internal error processing a queue request")
}
switch qReq.Request {
case HelloRequest:
updateStateHello(&qReq)
case EnqueueRequest:
updateStateEnqueue(&qReq, &allPendingCommands, pidPendingCommands)
case KillRequest:
updateStateKill(&qReq, &allPendingCommands, pidPendingCommands)
case WaitRequest:
updateStateWait(&qReq, &allPendingCommands, pidPendingCommands)
default:
log.Fatal("Internal error -- bad request type")
}
}

The following graphviz dot graph describes paths through the callgraph that could lead to a function calling a goroutine:
digraph G {
"(updateStateWait, 3)" -> {}
