[collectd] memcached timeout (Was: Problems with collectd and KVM)

[Florian Forster]

Hi Joost,

holy deity of your choosing, what a stupid mistake. Please note
memcached.c:137, which reads:
  status = poll (&p, /* nfds = */ 1, /* timeout = */ interval_g);

`interval_g' holds the interval in which data is read in collectd, in
your case `10' as in `read data every ten seconds'. However, from
poll(2):
``The  timeout  argument specifies an upper limit on the time for which
  poll() will block, in milliseconds.''

So changing the above line to
  status = poll (&p, /* nfds = */ 1, /* timeout = */ 1000 * interval_g);
will most certainly resolve this issue.

Sorry I doubted memcached, it's definitely collectd that's too impatient
here.. Updated releases will be available shortly.

Regards,
-octo
