 Checked, it happens in normal build logs as well.

 Sorry, my life was chaotic. Yes and no, checked it. First, there's a
new upstream version of pyzmq (15.2) for two months. It seems to be
security related according to the release log[1]:
- FIX: unicode/bytes bug in password prompt in zmq.ssh on Python 3
- workaround overflow bug in libzmq preventing receiving messages
larger than MAX_INT

My computer is old and has problems; even the archive version hangs
during self-tests. Still, it may help if Julian update the package to
the latest version. With my Python Modules team member hat on, should
I do it myself?
Just for the record, upstream Git tree has even more fixes that not
yet released as a new version.
