[zeromq-dev] Latest libzmq tests fail

[Osiris Pedroso]

My Ubuntu VM does have 1GB memory physical with no pagefile.
So I makes sense that attempting to allocate INT_MAX would fail.

I looked at the test. It seems to test that if a message larger than
INT_MAX is sent, that zmq_send_msg() is supposed to only send the first
INT_MAX bytes, since it asserts on that being the return value from
zmq_send_msg().
