Hi  
i encountered the following issue with nginx 1.0.0-1 from dotdeb on  
debian squeeze linked to memcache servers :  
Datas stored in memcache and greater then 20000 bytes are corrupted when  
retrieved by nginx with memcached\_pass module.

Is there any solution to override this limit ? Upgrade to a newer nginx  
version fixing it ?

Thxs a lot for your answers.

Regards

Check your memcached client compression threshold.
