bug in PHP API, with fix attached

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

Tim,

There are two PHP APIs.  It's my understanding that this one is
streams-based and doesn't have the bug you mentioned:

   http://phpca.cytherianage.net/memcached/

That said, I'll wait for the maintainer of the original PHP client to
accept this patch or let me know if alternate PHP client should be the
de-facto one.
