[zeromq-dev] UDP message with zeromq 2.0beta

[Guo, Yanchao]

I believe the client code is blocking. So what I did is that I start client first, which keeps running until it gets a message; then I start server. 

I know the packet is lost, as the server exits as it completed the sending, but client is still running as it doesn't receive message.

There's no real storage for the messages on the network switch or 
elsewhere, so you won't get historical messages. For example: Send a 
message, close the sender application. Open the receiver application, 
ask for message => you'll get nothing. You have to have both 
applications running to guarantee lossless semantics.
