In making the minimal test case, I minimized everything to include just
the zeromq factors, using just one main thread in the mistaken belief
that is was comeing from 0mq.  At first, I mistakenly thought I had
reproduced the error, but perhaps i was looking at the wrong process
listed in the "top" program. (Not sure what happened.) 

I guess that's the thing about making minimal test cases. Sometimes you
minimize in the wrong direction.  But it did help focus to the cause of
the error leak. :)
