This code looks okay to me.

This raises a possible flag.  Is the PULL (server) socket being used
from different threads?  If so, you'll need to constrain its entire
lifetime to a single thread.

Or, if you need thread-safety you may switch to SERVER/CLIENT (draft
sockets).

With your code as shown I think you may need to simply change the socket
types from PUSH/PULL to CLIENT/SERVER to test this (and maybe rebuild
with "draft" sockets if they aren't in your libzmq and libczmq builds
already).


Cheers!
