I got this today. Solved by restarting the Memcached server. Move along.

If you do any work with single sign on, you'll be familiar with the concept of exchanging tokens and validating against the authentication server using that token. One of the issues I've just run into which resulted in a huge headache is with urlencoding the result of a curl_exec ...

I'm migrating a PHP 4 site right now. It makes me realize how far PHP has come in the last few years.
