Couldn’t this be already solved by having the main thread simply close the 
socket?

Sockets are supposed to be only used on a single thread, but I understood the 
zmq_term would close the sockets anyway. The result would be that calls to send 
or receive on the socket would return an error code.

Alternately, I thought you could use a PAIR socket to send a message from the 
main thread to the working thread and use that to signal the working thread to 
close the other socket and end processing. (i.e.: poll on both sockets).

I guess it depends if you want this thread shutdown to only happen once and 
finish everything, or if other parts of your app need to keep working.
