[zeromq-dev] PUB doesn't discard msg when no SUB

[Li, Jia]

Thanks! Tried this one, but the one message that remained is the very
first (ancient) message, and each PUB would have such a message. This
would only work if the SUB knows the number of PUBs and thus discards
the first N messages it receives. 

OR: with HWM in effect, do FIFO to kick out the oldest message in the
waiting buffer. 

Regards,
Jia

Try setting HWM to 1 on the PUB side. That should drop any outstanding
messages except for one.
