Comment #23 on issue 99 by dorma...@rydia.net: Memcached 1.4.2 server segmentation fault
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=99
I have relative little clue on what's been changed in 1.6 :P Was mostly curious if it'd been fixed there.
I'm still nervous about the change since I can't tell why it's failing in the first place, and have never been able to reproduce the failure on any machine that I have. Thinking we'll stare harder and maybe merge it anyway just after 1.4.6 goes out, so it can sit in the tree for a while longer before 1.4.7.
