Ignore the 4.1 stack smashing issue, that was a brain fart on my part... I ran this (again Ubuntu 14.04 gcc4.8), and this time actually changed the len > 29 bytes (sorry it was late, I had the stupid), got the msg_t::close() race reported by helgrind.
I think these are bogus reports, there is a lock free queue implementation, ypipe_t (uses CAS, which if it were truly broken, would have reared it's head well before now) that sits between the context's thread (which is running the decoder, where the msg_t::init_size() call happens) and your receiving thread (where msg_t::close() happens). The queue imposes a strict 'happens before' relationship, the receiving side will not call close before the decoder has fully placed the message on the pipe (it does this by shallow copy, then calls msg_t::init() to reset it's local copy before handling the next message).
