Hey

I had the same isue after an update for some time ago.
I newer got memcache to work satisfying with Hashtables.
I don't know why, because since I read that Horde perhaps would depricate
Memcache.
I choose to find an other cache handler.
After some research I chose APC. I know some is using Xcache too.
I have been satisfied with APC since...
