The
_in_pipepointer was being used to drain messages and then deleted viaLIBZMQ_DELETE, but the command dispatch loop inio_thread_t::in_eventprocesses all mailbox commands in a single pass. If a second command arrives for the samepipe_tafterdelete thisis executed, the object's memory has already been freed and_in_pipebecomes a dangling pointer, leading to a double free.This fix saves
_in_pipeto a local and nulls out the member before draining, so any stale access to the deleted object sees NULL rather than a freed ypipe pointer. Fixes #4806.
