Client bugs, or buggy keys I assume? Memcached the server most certainly only returns the keys you ask for, so if you're getting other ones you might be using the client object wrong and getting out of sync with the protocol. Or the client's just buggy... Sorry, don't have any ideas about what it could be in particular. make sure you're sending keys that don't have newlines/spaces/etc in them and that you're not clobbering the object somehow. -Dormando
