msgq should be able to handle errors in send.

I guess we need to wrap sock.send and catch socket errors. This
particular bug comes from a slight misunderstanding of the API (probably
expecting C-like behavior with errors returned, instead of exceptions
being raised).

Some thoughts:

      * We should probably fix this in the next sprint, as it's quite
        simple.
      * We should probably *not* fix this "properly", as that would mean
        adding tests for this, and msgq is 99.9% untested, and msgq is
        going away.
      * This is, actually, another good reason msgq should go away.

I'll make a ticket for this on Monday, unless there are objections (or
if someone else makes it first)...
