Additional information: the memcache module is from https://git.php.net/repository/pecl/caching/memcache.git
checked out with tag memcache-3.0.8 - source files are identical between my 5.6.27 (works) and
5.6.28 (breaks) builds.

Description:
------------
Using memcache as session handler. Works with a single backend server, fails as indicated below when
using two backend servers.

This has been working forever, and is in production using 5.6.27 built the same way as 5.6.28 now.
It fails with 5.6.28 on two separate build + test environments (openSUSE 11.4 + 13.1) using
different GCC versions and external library base, so it is not build environment related.


Test script:
---------------
?php
# ^session CLI ini variables before call:
#
# session.save_handler = files
# session.save_path = "/var/lib/php5"
# session.use_cookies = 1
# session.use_only_cookies = 1
# session.name = PHPSESSID
# session.auto_start = 0
# session.cookie_lifetime = 0
# session.cookie_path = /
# session.cookie_domain =
# session.cookie_httponly = 1
# session.serialize_handler = php
# session.gc_probability = 1
# session.gc_divisor = 1000
# session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
# session.bug_compat_42 = Off
# session.bug_compat_warn = Off
# session.referer_check =
# session.entropy_length = 32
# session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
# session.cache_limiter = nocache
# session.cache_expire = 180
# session.use_trans_sid = 0
# session.hash_function = 3
# session.hash_bits_per_character = 5

# these three just for testing, to suppress headers-sent warning
ini_set('session.use_cookies', '0');
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', '0');
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', '1');

function test() {
        session_name('SID_bof');
        session_id('abcdef');
        if (!session_start()) {
                var_dump('session_start failed');
                exit(1);
        }
        var_dump($_SESSION);
        $_SESSION['bof.test'] = 42;
        session_write_close();
}

ini_set('session.save_handler', 'memcache');
ini_set('session.save_path', 'tcp://192.168.0.2:11211');
test();
ini_set('session.save_path', 'tcp://192.168.0.3:11211');
test();
ini_set('session.save_path', 'tcp://192.168.0.2:11211,
tcp://192.168.0.3:11211');
test();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
# on second run, otherwise these are empty arrays first
array(1) {
  'bof.test' =>
  int(42)
}
array(1) {
  'bof.test' =>
  int(42)
}
array(1) {
  'bof.test' =>
  int(42)
}

Actual result:
--------------
# on second run, otherwise these are empty arrays
array(1) {
  'bof.test' =>
  int(42)
}
array(1) {
  'bof.test' =>
  int(42)
}
