[zeromq-dev] zmq_server can be remotely crashed with telnet

[Aamir M]

Martin,

Thank you for the fix. I also noticed that the same thing happens with
any program that declares a global object. For example, if you write a
program to create a global exchange on some port and then telnet to
that port you can crash the program with bad data.

Thanks,
Aamir
