I consistently get an out of memory error when performing < 44 byte (key+data) puts to memcache, but when 'put'-ing the same key with data that is long enough to exceed 44 chars key + data , I succeed. I observe this behavior using both the ruby client (memcache-client 1.5) and the python one (python-memcached), although the python client seems to break at 59 chars, rather than 44.
memcache-client's default mode of operation is to Marshal the values you're storing in memcached. For a String this is 4 bytes of overhead.
