[zeromq-dev] Something's broken in session_base or there's something I really ought to know about multithreading.

The code doesn't appear to be sharing the structure between threads so
it could be an alignment issue.

However, it's a complex test case to test that problem.

My advice is to (a) determine what is actually wrong with the
structure passed to the child thread, i.e., which fields are corrupted
and when; and (b) strip this down to a much simpler test case (it's
not a pgm issue at all, is it?) and (c) please use a pastebin or gist,
because source code in emails is hard to play with.
