Looks like you've found a bug. I've narrowed it down to this commit in 2.1.8:

https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq2-1/commit/2c899206691f528aa21ed52a4eb52ea7d59436cd

That was a large backport from 3.0 which fixed the various asserts
with mailboxes.

The problem doesn't affect 3.0, so I assume something went wrong in
the backport.

Could you log an issue, and maybe also add your test case to the
issues repository?

Martin: can you tell me where I should look in the code?
