Description:
------------
Hi everyone,

If I try to connect to a memcached server that doesnt exist or is running, the connect is always True, but if I enter a host name that is obviously wrong, the return is False.
This appears very strange to me. Shouldn't the memcache return FALSE when a connection couldnt be made, as according to the PHP documentation?

Reproduce code:
---------------
1:

    $testInstance = new Memcache;
    $var = @$testInstance->connect('localhost', 11211);
    echo $var;
    // Outputs true no matter if the memcached is running or not.



2:

    $testInstance = new Memcache;
    $var = @$testInstance->connect('blablabla', 11211);
    echo $var;
    // Outputs false

Actual result:
--------------
Result of connections to non-existent servers returns true.

I cannot recreate this.  My memcached server runs on port 11212.

Code:
<?php
$testInstance = new Memcache;
$var = @$testInstance->connect('localhost', 11212);
var_dump($var);

$testInstance = new Memcache;
$var = @$testInstance->connect('localhost', 11211);
var_dump($var);

Output:
bool(true)
bool(false)
