Well, the next question is kinda obvious ;)

Can you try running memcached on one of these machines w/o letting it
take any traffic (for example, by starting it on a different port than
your clients are trying to connect to, using the -p command line 
switch), and see if it causes the kernel to panic? (it really shouldn't,
but who knows).

Overall this seems very much like an epoll problem.
