2561	memcached backend ignores default timeout?	Christopher Lenz <cmlenz@…>	Jacob	"Okay, I might be missing something obvious here… but does the memcached backend even use the default timeout specified in the query string of the `CACHE_BACKEND` setting? The code doesn't suggest so. Doesn't that mean that cache entries only time out when the memory limit configured for memcached is reached?

The following patch should remedy that AFAICT:
