Getting epoll working...?

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

Put a static build (recommended) of 1.1.8 with epoll support (if
available) at:

   http://www.danga.com/memcached/dist/binaries/linux-x86/

Don't use the -h flag to test the libevent method, like I accidentally
said earlier.  Just do:

$ EVENT_SHOW_METHOD=1 ./memcached-1.1.8
