Hi

There is a bug in the constructor of zmq::devpoll_t,
the stopping data member is not initialised and in cases
where the the random memory value is true, it leads to the 
devpoll_t::loop() exiting immediately; because by this time the socket has 
actually been created clients can actually connect but nothing happens as 
there is no IO thread.

I submit this patch under the MIT license.

Thanks, 

Jon
