One can check the serverlogs if errors are happening inside memcached, howe=
ver=20
this requires a separate script that constantly monitors the memcached logs.

So I think it's nice if the client can take proper action in case if the=20
memcached server returned out of memory, unable to open fd's or=20
whatever ......

Yes that would be neat and surely more elegant than $!
