Indeed, and this particular scenario is the one that causes this
assert in mailbox.cpp.

People do also try to actively recv/send from the same socket in
multiple threads but less often, by experience. However, trying to
close all sockets from one place seems a regular thing. I've hit
exactly the same fault myself trying to manage sockets automatically
in czmq.

Anyone else have an opinion on handling these asserts more "nicely"?
