[zeromq-dev] Assertion failed: !current_out (xrep.cpp:166)

[Victor Nakoryakov]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the advices. They helped to narrow down the problem. I'm
sorry for disturbing, but that was my fault. Actually there _was_ a
scenario when socket is used from different threads simultaneously.
Now I've made inproc transport to deliver all messages to a single
main XREP and all came fine.

ZMQ is cool! Thanks again and good luck.
