[zeromq-dev] ROUTER not routing?

[Justin Karneges]

Yes, when B is run again, it creates a new bind socket. A's connect 
socket will then reconnect to it. B does not care what the identity is 
of A's socket, so I think this is not a problem. For example, I can 
restart A repeatedly and all is fine.
