Koha is only about 10% of our memcached load, but I do cron "flush-all", 
"sleep 10" then "restart" every 24 hrs (at 3am, low/no use, gets around the 
time delay "gotcha".)  Also, as far as I know "restart" might not totally 
*flush* memcached (there's a lot of debate about it, particularly in the 
php world where memcached's garbage collection seems to be a dirty word) 
but I haven't done any serious testing.  At least "flush-all" is virtually 
instantaneous, and meets the needs of Koha frameworks.

Thanks for the confirmation.  That was my gut feeling.  But ... I really am 
trying to avoid trashing the work I've done on 3.8 on the sandbox (which is 
too old to successfully run two versions of Koha.)  I'm nowhere near ready 
at this time to put 3.8 into production, so I guess my $64,000 question is 
"what is the most stable version of 3.6 that I can upgrade the production 
server to, with the least chance of running into problems?"  There's 
probably a lot of other bug fixes and enhancements that could be 
useful.  Maybe wait for your 3.6.7?  :=)

Sorry, but I can't find the bug you reported (number?)  From my 
perspective, it was a [probaly very rare] combination of circumstances and 
as you say "a moot point", hence my calling it an "oddity" rather than a 
bug. We're back on track, the cataloguers see a red asterix, and the help 
file (ours, not LoC) pops up when requested.

Thanks again and regards,
Paul
