gosimple + go 1.23 consume all available RAM

[olegrok]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've read the typecheck section of the FAQ.
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.).
• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

Description of the problem

It is quite inadequate to use more than 60 GB of RAM.

You are using golangci-lint built with go1.22.5 to analyze go1.23 code, this cannot work.

You should use go1.23 to compile it.
