Description

I run the command in both macOS High Sierra(10.13.6) and ubuntu 16.04 and get this issue only in my macOS. I removed the entire `$GOPATH/src`, and performed `go get` again. This issue is still there.

```
$ gx-go rw
$ go test -v
...

After debugging for a while, I still don't have any idea about this issue. I will really appreciate if there is any direction to solve it.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with `go test -v` on macOS, then inspect `floodsub_test.go:54` and the failing `TestDenseGossipsub`, `TestGossipsubFanout`, and related tests. Compare the macOS and Ubuntu test environments and trace the reported dial attempts; done means the affected tests pass reliably on macOS or the platform-specific cause is clearly documented.
