I do *think* that events are dispatched by different workers on the core indeed which might be the cause of your problem. ZMQ also has a few asserts on the core that can be quite disruptive and they were working on getting it working more properly. Dunno what's the status of that right now.

A core dump would help a lot on any case tho.

Hello,

We're using mod_event_zmq module (slightly modified, we use different socket type and IPC instead of TCP), and experience crashes.

As far as I understood the module it creates ZMQ context and all event sent by using same context.

Events callback is called from different threads, isn't it? And can be a situation when different threads access send() api on this context simultaneously.

ZMQ guide strongly prohibits doing that: " You MUST NOT share ØMQ sockets between threads."

And when I do a mutex around send() there're no more crashes (at least today).

Am I missing something or mod_event_zmq is potentially dangerous?
