--nozero stops the auto-configuration attempts. Briefly, this is something first poularized by Apple under the name of Bonjour. A server and udp protocol for devices and services (like printers, music sources, etc) to announce their presence and configuration.
The idea is that other programs or the desktop will automatically configure themselves to use resources when they are available. Saves the effort of setting up configuration files, remembering ports and addresses, etc. Linux has the same features under either as a port of the Bonjour code (it's open source GPL) or a d-bus based code called Avahi. Unfortunately, like a lot of linux things, it's not a standard part of the OS, so we have to auto-probe (look for the presence of a dynamically loaded library) and hope that that library is compatible. I use both Avahi and Bonjour as optional parts of OWFS. OWFS can be both a source (owserver or owhttpd) and a sink of owserver resources. The idea is that any program would find the owserver and you wouldn't have to bother finding an empty port and linking them. --nozero blocks this code (the autodiscovery). A better solution would be to find what is wrong and fix the bad library link.
