Description
Found a possible issue in [mozilla/tls-observatory](https://www.github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory) at [tlsobs-scanner/analyser.go](https://github.com/mozilla/tls-observatory/blob/0547674fceff5d5b7a617d4c2014ce6fded87cee/tlsobs-scanner/analyser.go#L257-L270)
Below is the message reported by the analyzer for this snippet of code. Beware that the analyzer only reports the first issue it finds, so please do not limit your consideration to the contents of the below message.
> function call which takes a reference to truststore at line 258 may start a goroutine

Click here to show the 14 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.
```go
for _, truststore := range trustStores {
if endEntity != nil && isChainValid(endEntity, intermediates, &truststore, chain.Domain, chain.IP, certmap) {
// If we have an end entity cert and its chain of trust is valid, our work
// here is done, move to the next truststore
continue
}
// to end up here either there was no leaf certificate retrieved
// or it was retrieved but it was not valid so we must check the remainder of the chain
for i, cert := range intermediates {
inter := append(intermediates[:i], intermediates[i+1:]...)
isChainValid(cert, inter, &truststore, chain.Domain, chain.IP, certmap)
}
}
