Yes. The problem is that 0MQ pushes messages to OpenPGM then it believes 
all the work is done. Thus it allows application to terminate. 
Obviously, there may still be data in OpenPGM's tx buffer, which will be 
dropped.

The real solution would be to be able to communicate the fact that 
there's nothing more to send in OpenPGM's tx buffer back to 0MQ.

Thoughts?
