restarting every night?

[Brandon Ooi]

Hi,

We've seen corruption too on some older linux kernels (2.6.11) with 
memcache instances larger than 2gb (no idea why) this would cause weird 
issues and if we kept using it would eventually crash by themselves 
after a few days. we saw this on 4 different machines. When kept under 
2gb they seemed stable. Perhaps this is your issue?
