bytes > limit_maxbytes and no evictions?

[Steve Webb]

Hey there.  I was running some tests (dev won't let me put memcached into 
production before I run tons of tests on it) and I overflowed the memcache 
memory size, but got a "bytes" number that's greater than the 
"limit_maxbytes" and also see no "evictions".

Anyone want to help me out understanding what's going on?

This machine is running the 1.2.2 version.

$ telnet qa02 11112
