[zeromq-dev] Latest libzmq tests fail

[Pieter Hintjens]

There are two tests that fail now because Doron fixed a bug while
implementing radio/dish, that these tests depended on... we'll get
around to fixing the tests at some stage.

The large memory test is IMO bogus as it sends a message of MAX_INT
size which is toxic for some systems. I think the right solution is to
limit message size to rather below that.
