Ok. Behind the scenes ZMQ_FD, is basically a counter, which wakes up
poll when is non-zero. The counter is reset on each getsockopt ZMQ_EVENTS,
zmq_send and zmq_recv.

The following diagram shows race condition with two sockets A and B,
in a scenario similar to yours:

Note: the last poll is entered with both counters set to zero, so it
will not wake up, despite the fact that there is pending message.
