The servers work fine, until I start up memcached -- and every single time, the machines will kernel panic (aiee!) within 3 minutes.  If I don't start memcached, the machine runs fine for hours -- until I get bored waiting for it to kernel panic, and I start memcached.. *boom*.

Do you use any client to connect to memcached that you started, or is
merely starting the program, without any connections, sufficient to 
crash the server after a while?
