For the 1.1.* versions the patch described here has worked for us:

  http://lists.danga.com/pipermail/memcached/2006-March/002058.html

It's not clear what the solution is in the new 1.2 stuff, haven't had a
chance to investigate yet. Other folk?

While having large object storage has worked well for us it sort of
seems a bit stinky to me: it makes me think we've got a problem
somewhere else. That we probably want something that is an iterator
rather than a list, but it's been a good stopgap in our testing.

Is this the Wes that used to work at Kiva long ago and far away?
