That error message means that it's trying to deserialize a value that 
was not serialized in the first place.  If the value had been serialized 
(aka "marshaled"), then the first two bytes would be the format version. 
  In your value, the first two bytes are 84 and 104, which are the 
letters "Th".

I'm not familiar with the memcache clients for Rails or PHP - perhaps 
someone else on the list can speak to whether this could be an 
incompatibility between the clients or is more likely to be a bug in 
your code.
