Duplicate identities are handled by one of the connections getting a
generated identity.

OK, here's a test case that creates lots of connections to stress a
router socket.

- create dealer socket
- connect and send message
- wait for reply
- destroy dealer socket
- repeat indefinitely

When you run it you can see memory use doesn't grow (as far as I can tell).
