Hi folks,

I've been using zmq (3.2.3) with good success, but I'm getting a lot of noise 
from
clang's thread sanitizer about race conditions.

I've compiled both 3.2.3 and 4.0.3 with clang and thread sanitizer enabled.
Running the test suite generates hundreds of reports of race conditions.
It appears that many of these are harmless (at least, I haven't seen any 
crashes).
But getting all this noise from thread sanitizer makes it very difficult to use 
the
tool because any race conditions that I introduce in my own code are very hard
to spot in all the noise. (Thread sanitizer does have a suppression mechanism,
but it's quite coarse, nowhere near as fine-grained as, say, valgrind's.)

In my experience, problems reported by thread sanitizer are generally worth
paying attention to. (There are few false positives.)

Is there any chance of getting a zmq release that runs clean with thread 
sanitizer?

Thanks,

Michi.
