Hi Kevin, Thanks. I've read the guide and that all makes sense, but in this case, I'm trying to use czmq as a higher-level API. In it's latest incarnation, it doesn't expose the zmq context at all.
I'll go back and rewrite my code to just use the base zmq APIs if necessary, but I'm hoping to stick with czmq for now. It looks like I may have found a solution that fits within czmq... If I call zsys_shutdown() in the child process immediately after the fork (or, at least, before I try to do anything else with czmq), then czmq reinitializes itself, so the child gets a new context and the IO threads are created. Still more testing needed to make sure it works reliably, but initial tests are positive. If anyone knows of issues with calling zsys_shutdown() like this, I'd love to hear about it.
