well, the error isn't *produced* by the memcached client, but that's not
to say that the client isn't stuffing in data in such a way that the
error is triggered. hence i'm posting here, to see if anyone has had a
similar experience or may be familiar with any related bugs. that's the
purpose of these kinds of lists, yeah? ;)

i'm familiar with the PECL client, but it lacks documentation (unless
someone can point me to it), and in looking through the source and the
included example code, it wasn't clear in the slightest whether or not
the client would support connecting to memcacheds running on multiple
machines. so, i chose a client that had docs and overtly supported all
of the features i wanted to use.

the PECL client's example php code connected to only one memcached, and
in trying the code out (using reasonable guesses), i wasn't able to connect
to multiple servers. anyone know if it's possible, or if there are any
docs anywhere to be found?
