If deserialization fails for some reason, that is when memcache server returned flag 1 set, but the
value was not a correctly serialized PHP data,
then Memcache::get acts in a following way:
If it was called with a single key to retrieve, then a warning is raised, but since it was not
actually a bug of a server, the warning says something confusing like "Memcached Server Error:
null" and the function returns bool(false).
If it was called by passing an array (even with a single element in it), then the warning is not
raised and the resulting array contains a value bool(false).
Since there are some buffer overrun bugs present in Memcached Server, which from time to time cause
overwriting of [part of] data and therefore rendering it impossible to deserialize, make sure to
check if the result of Memcache::get contains only string, or deserialized structure. If the result
is bool,dobule or long, then something went wrong.
