[zeromq-dev] Issue in tcp_connecter.cpp in Windows

[KIU Shueng Chuan]

I have encountered the same assertion before too on WinXP.

I think the "another service listening on the port" possibility would cause
an assert on a bind and not here?

The thing is that the user app can't do anything as zmq handles
auto-reconnect.
