[zeromq-dev] possible bug in zframe.c ?

[Peter Stirling]

const with pointers reads from right-to-left, (though you can put the 
const on either side of the base type, I always put it to the left for 
consistency)

char const * const x; // read should be read as "x is a constant pointer 
to a constant char"
