My page encoding is set to UTF-8.

Additionally, I have Memcached::OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL set to true. If I try to set it to false, getStats() times out the page.

Here are all my settings:

$this->_memcached->setOptions(array(
    Memcached::OPT_NO_BLOCK => true,
    Memcached::OPT_BUFFER_WRITES => true,
    Memcached::OPT_TCP_NODELAY => true,
    Memcached::OPT_NOREPLY => true,
    Memcached::OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL => true,
    Memcached::OPT_LIBKETAMA_COMPATIBLE => true,
));

I just want to add that I tried restarting the offending Memcached server and that didn't fix the problem. Not sure why this is only showing like this in the one server in the pool? Very strange.

Another status update: Creating a new connection pool with the servers added in a different order didn't fix it. When I tried that, the server with IP x.x.x.238 encountered the oddity instead of the server with IP x.x.x.235. (Just whichever is first in the list, it seems).
