[zeromq-dev] Memory alignment

This looks like a design omission, your analysis looks accurate.
Increasing the size to 4 bytes should be a good solution. Adding an
unused 2-byte value may not work due to optimizers.

Feel free to make that change, test it, and send us a patch. I'll get
that into 2.1.8 once Martin's confirmed it.
