[zeromq-dev] Can I make sure that contexts are freed and handles released in a fast loop?

[Kuba]

Dear Ian,

Thank you for your answer.
Indeed, I was expecting context termination to wait until all resources are
returned, but this somehow does not happen.
Setting linger time was also my first thought, but it seems not to help.

I will create a simple test case tomorrow and report back. Should you have
any more suggestions, please don't hesitate to write :)

Regards,
Kuba
