I previously forwarded the following bug report and have since
discovered that it is indeed not a bug. However, I would have to say
that I also fell into the same trap as Barry. Perhaps the sentence in
question in the bug-report should be re-worded so as to avoid further
confusion.

Just a typo, really, in the last sentence of this paragraph from the
zwrite man page.
-n prevents zwrite from sending a PING message to
verify the recipient is subscribing to messages.
By default, zwrite will send a notice to the
destination class, instance, and recipient, with
opcode ``PING'' before sending the message. If
the PING is sent, and the server response indi-
cates there are no recipients subscribed to your
message, zwrite exits without sending a message.
When the -m option is used, no PING is sent.
