The auto-retry for inproc isn't implemented yet :( See issue 6.

That may differ between the windows versions... In any case zmq.h 
belives that ECONREFUSED isn't defined - otherwise it wouldn't define it 
itself.

I am trying to be consistent with POSIX strerror function. Thus you have 
the numeric value (10048) that can be translated into textual form using 
strerror ("Address in use").
