Mauro, what version of the memcached client do you have? The client was
never provided with PHP, so it had to be installed on it's own. I would
guess from a Debian package. It is something you want to be up on.
Can you provide reproduce code? Are you caching objects? arrays?
strings? We cache our front page HTML all day long. It sits at 100k+
at all times. And we NEVER see errors. Like, never ever.

We got some random errors with Memcached 1.1.12 on a (32-bit) production
server running Debian 4.0r1. The client API is the one provided with php
4.4.4
memcache_set() and memcache_add() randomly fail when trying to set large
values ( > 30kb); the larger the entry length, the larger the number of
failures. Moreover, we get random notices like this one: "Notice:
memcache_get_stats() [function.memcache-get-stats]: Server
192.168.0.13 (tcp 11211) failed with: Failed reading line from stream
(0) in /path/to/script.php"
The same setup on a local developing box, with the same setup, gives us
no failures and everything works ok.
What's wrong in our production box? Is there a way to get an insight on
why the functions are failing, other than their "false" return value?
What follows is the phpinfo() memcached reported configuration and the
output of the memcache_get_advanced_server_stats on our production box:
Revision $Revision: 1.92 $
memcache.allow_failover 1
memcache.chunk_size 8192
memcache.default_port 11211
memcache.hash_function crc32
memcache.hash_strategy standard
memcache.max_failover_attempts 20
