[zeromq-dev] Closed dealer socket may cause context termination to hang

[Pieter Hintjens]

Well, I used the term "insane" in the man page.

OK, I've sent a pull request to set LINGER to 2 seconds by default.
If there are no complaints we can backport this to 4.1. I think the
old behavior can be considered a bug worth fixing.
