You would exit if the message is queued? The queue is local to the 
process, thus it'll just go away.

Anyway, the problem we are discussing here is whether there exists sync 
API for 0MQ. One that handles at most 1 TCP connection, implements no 
queueing, and is able to connect but not to bind, returns TCP errors 
directly to the user.

There's no such API. However, given the constraints above why not use 
BSD socket instead? It looks like a perfect match.
