[zeromq-dev] Issues with large numbers of clients

[Pieter Hintjens]

Hi Will,

Can you make a minimal test case that shows the socket leakage? That's
a first step to solving the problem.

Again, if there's any way to reproduce this, that's a good start.
Otherwise, file an issue and note as much about the problem as you
can.
