Not quite - the send() would not block as the PUSH side would have no
queue, so the message would go into the socket queue, and then into the TCP
buffer. Assuming that the other side was completely blocked, the PUSH would
not be able to transfer until space was made. When you attempted to
shutdownt the PUSH side, the shutdown will then block, unless you have set
the ZMQ_LINGER option to 0 as it will attempt to flush out it's existing
queue.
