[zeromq-dev] Race conditions again

[Michi Henning]

Oops, forgot, here are the build settings I used for zmq 4.0.3:

./configure CC=clang CCFLAGS="-fPIC -fsanitize=thread" CXX=clang++ CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -fsanitize=thread -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CFLAGS="-fPIC" LDFLAGS="-fsanitize=thread"

Cheers,

Michi.
