Hmm, it is true that shutting down a multithreaded app is delicate. You need to inform the parent thread via its pipe, and the parent needs to then exit explicitly. I don't think it would help to have signals caught by the parent; you would then get child threads not exiting properly. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
