[zeromq-dev] JZMQ - Context.term hangs when PUSH/PULL happen on the same thread.

[Pieter Hintjens]

This was a long discussion at the time. Socket shutdown is kind of
difficult given that sockets can migrate between threads. libzmq at
some points waits for handshaking that can never arrive.

The solution is to (a) always close sockets before terminating the
context, and (b) set linger to 0 on every socket at least before
closing it.

CZMQ for example tracks opened sockets per context and closes them
automatically when needed.
