Anybody can have a try:
-----------------------------------------------
# telnet 127.0.0.1 11211
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
get test
END
add test 0 0 4
9999
STORED
incr test 1
10000
get test
VALUE test 0 5
10000
END
decr test 1
9999
get test
VALUE test 0 5
9999
END
--------------
The vlen does not shrink when *decr* from 10000 to 9999, it is still 5!!
This bug does not affect most dynamic language client(php .etc), but
for clients that
use this vlen, they don't work, for example, libmemcache.
Also it does not follow the memcache protocol.
Here comes the pacth:
