[zeromq-dev] Cannot understand multipart identity

[Pieter Hintjens]

This isn't normal, so do some sanity checks. First, check the "more"
property on all frames and make sure that first frame that you assume
is an address really is an address, not something left over from a
previous message. Second, provide us a complete test case we can try,
with client and server in two threads in one process. Third, inspect
the frames, see what they contain. ROUTER identities are 5 bytes (null
+ 4 bytes).
