Description

After encountering and describing this error I realized I could just brew install, but this is still an odd error to have encountered.

sophie:go pineapple$ GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 go get github.com/keybase/client/go/keybase
# github.com/keybase/client/go/service
src/github.com/keybase/client/go/service/gregor.go:859: reader.Reset undefined (type *bytes.Reader has no field or method Reset)
sophie:go pineapple$ GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 go install -tags production github.com/keybase/client/go/keybase
# github.com/keybase/client/go/service
src/github.com/keybase/client/go/service/gregor.go:859: reader.Reset undefined (type *bytes.Reader has no field or method Reset)

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the reported GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 go get or go install command, then inspect go/service/gregor.go at line 859. Verify the build on OS X Mavericks after addressing the bytes.Reader Reset error; the reported commands should complete without that compiler failure.
