[zeromq-dev] push/pull -- unusual workflow

No. If there are no messages from a particular peer, the fair-queueing 
algorithm simply moves on to the another peer.

If you are missing messages, it's probably a bug. Please, create a 
minimal test case and a ticket in the bug tracker. Thanks!

What kind of state are you interested in?
