No, you don't. It's not well documented though but _send takes
ownership, and _close isn't needed.

We had used zmq_ctx_destroy for a while, then switched to zmq_ctx_term
because people felt the context wasn't destroyed, just terminated.
However the man pages still speak of "destroying the context", so we
need to fix that.

My fault about the man pages not mentioning zmq_ctx_term; I had
uploaded them from an old version. Fixing that right now.
