I was trying to use memcache for session storage in Typo. And i got  
following error, when user logs into the system.

This overkill of using memcache for session storage is because, I have  
modified typo for hosting multiple blogs. The app works when i switch  
to active\_record storage.

Also, Users model of typo actually makes connection to one other apps  
database, using establish\_connection method of activerecord.

But why is this inconsistency.
