Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:36 gk]:
 > Okay, I am not convinced yet this is caused by the potential changes
 making notarization possible. mcs/brade: If I am reading your comments
 right, you did _not_ test whether `meek` as we ship it in 9.0a4 works on
 your 10.9 system? If so, could you do that just to be sure whether the
 above problem is actually a new bug caused by my patch?

 > I suspect the underlying problem is a change in Go 1.12 where Go is
 starting to use `libSystem.dylib` etc. for syscalls:
 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17490. But in that case we should hit
 the issue in our already existing bundles. (The mac-ports folks had to
 work around that e.g. in https://trac.macports.org/ticket/58138).

 I don't think we tested 9.0a4 + meek on macOS 10.9.x but we can do so.
