Comment #3 on issue 244 by [email protected]: Extremely Large Get Requests Fail
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=244
If I'm understanding things correctly, one thing that might "help" is increasing the initial buffer size. Also, since the request is terminated with \r\n, it seems like it should read until \r\n, or until some other user configurable threshold. (To prevent someone from sending an endless stream of junk data.)
