With TCP:

1. if the server starts the worker before setting up 0MQ, no problem. I 
can kill and restart the server, and 0MQ reconnects every time.

2. if the server starts the worker *after* setting up 0MQ, then I get 
the error message: "Address already in use" when I kill and try to 
restart the server.

 From the command-line, same user with the code below.


#------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage:
        ./server5.py -before # starts worker before 0MQ
        ./server5.py -after  # starts worker after 0MQ

Then kill the server, and restart it alone with:

        ./server5.py         # starts server alone

and see when 0MQ reconnects, and when not.
