successive writes are lost

[Steven Grimm]

Any chance you can send your test program to me? If I can reproduce 
that, I'll definitely work on fixing it. We haven't noticed that 
behavior but I suppose if it's a rare condition, it might have been 
happening infrequently enough to escape our attention.

Which version of memcached are you running against?
