How can i get all items?

[Adrian Ziemkowski]

Not only that, cachedump has a limited buffer (2MB?) and with memcached
holding and returning expired items, it was quite likely to run over
that limit.  The only way to remove them is to request them again so
they are unlinked.

If you need to know what's in memcached, you're probably using it for
more than it was intended.

"stats cachedump" is a debugging command, and not part of the stable
interface.  Subject to change at any time.
