Using a 0 sized buffer causes broadcasts to never be received #7

When a bus is created with a buffer of 0, messages are successfully broadcast, but are never received. I'm not sure if you care about such a use case (I want to receive only messages being sent now, not messages that may have been sitting in the queue waiting for a reader), but if not it woudl be good to get a message/panic when creating such a bus. Code:

extern crate bus;

use bus::Bus;
use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() {
    let mut bus = Bus::new(0);
    let mut rx = bus.add_rx();
    let t = thread::spawn(move || {
        rx.recv().unwrap();
    });
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(500));
    println!("Sending");
    bus.broadcast(());
    println!("Sent, waiting on receive");
    t.join().unwrap();
    println!("Received and joined");
}

In this minimal example, the sent message is always printed, but the final received/joined message is not. Increasing the buffer to 1 makes it complete successfully.
