Description
Hi,
I use pyzmq in one of my program and some users reported a RunTimeError when launching the software.
After investigation, I found that if I install COMODO firewall on the computer with the maximum security set, just by calling zmq.Context(), I have a crash.
Here is the trace:
Assertion failed: Permission denied (......\src\signaler.cpp:219)
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information
Is there a way to avoid this ? I have done the test on pyzmq-2.1.10.win32-py2.7 and pyzmq-2.1.7.
Of course, I reported the problem on the pyzmq bugtracker (https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/issues/152) and they asked me to put it her. I also asked for my users to disable their firewall (for test purpose), it worked for some of them but not for everybody.
Thanks in advance.

Oh, thanks for the quick answer. I'll look at it.
Julien, have you tried the patch and does it work?
I think this was fixed by 81da391e7e6ee12a2607289a1aae16c400e7025e.

This problem is caused by emulating socketpair via TCP. It uses randomly chosen port to accomplish the task, which in turn is blocked by the firewall.
The problem could be solved by fixing the port used for sockepair emulation and configuring the firewall so that local connections on given port are allowed.
Patch attached to this issue should fix 0MQ to use fixed port, namely port 5905:
