Memcached using more than max memory
i have an installation on memcache which i want to use in my production environment but when i have ran a couple of tests it seems that memcache doesn't free up memory even after it has used up all of it allocated memory, Also i logged in and ran a flush_all command but the objects are still in the cache. Here are outputs from some tests

-m tells memcached how much RAM to use for item storage (in megabytes). Note carefully that this isn't a global memory limit, so memcached will use a few % more memory than you tell it to. Set this to safe values. Setting it to less than 48 megabytes does not work properly in 1.4.x and earlier. It will still use the memory.
