Too many connections error memcached

[Matt Bartolome]

Looks like things have stabilized by running memcached like this:
/usr/local/bin/memcached -d -m 1028 -p 11211 -u memcached -c 8000

In my setup the connections are eventually closing so setting the
higher connection limit works just fine.

Thanks guys,
-Matt
