zmq_msg_init says it creates an empty message, i.e. a message of size
zero, so that seems consistent.

It's unclear whether you need to call zmq_msg_close on an empty
message. The reference manual doesn't discuss this. One would assume
it's not needed, but that may be dependent on how messages are
implemented.
