Yes, the fix in Cuirass above was insufficient, though you had to be
truly unlucky for use-after-free to happen this quickly.

Anyway, I had also proposed a fix in guile-simple-zmq, which the upgrade
in Guix commit 04215779baaa21f10bd5f20999761dc506e449d8 pulls in.

I have yet to reconfigure on berlin.

In the meantime I’ll look at the worker side of this issue.

Ludo’.
