Description:
------------
An addServer call in versions of the memcache client library, prior to version 3.0.4, would set the timeout to 1 second regardless of the timeout setting. Developers would set the timeout to null expecting that the timeout would default to 1. Currently, in 3.0.4 setting the timeout to null causes the timeout to be case to 0 causing an instant timeout. This change in behavior caught us off guard when upgrading our php5-memcache package and isn't clear. If this behavior is intended then it might be worth a clear notice since it changes the semantics of null in that method call.

Yes, as NULL would mean that you don't pass a timeout. If you like to have a default timeout without changing your code (or in general) you can use the memcache.default_timeout_ms ini setting.
