At least it would be a much more consistent behavior with the exception 
of writing a warning to a system log.

I don't think it's currently possible, but I'll ask anyway - in the 
absence of callbacks, is there any way for 0MQ socket to receive 
out-of-band error events?

Since 0MQ is a library, creating side effects such as writing something 
to a log is not a very good idea - it's much better to provide some form 
of control to the upper layer in terms of error handling.

P.S. BTW, you mentioned that you wrote something on callbacks to the 
mailing list, could you point me to that email?  I couldn't find 
anything meaningful when searched for
