[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.12.1 Issue

[Russ Lavoy]

After upgrading my 1.12.0 version to 1.12.1 version everything broke with amazing server overloads...

I see that the 1.12.1 patch file includes changes to how mediawiki uses memcached and this changed destroyed the site I am over...  Any time I tried to bring up the site all the apache processes start flowing in and the frontend webservers hit about 30 load (Linux terms) in less than 2 minutes... 

I use APC and memcached and have not had an issue with previous upgrades (from 1.9 to now 1.12 currently).  But the 1.12.1 upgrade was fine in my staging enviornment and everything worked.  But once I put into production and it got a good load...  It blew up and would no longer respond.  No other upgrades happened during this time.  PHP is the same, mysql is the same and so is apache...  The only thing I changed was the mediawiki version...

I got around this issue by reverting back to 1.12.0 which I did not want to do with the current security patch that is out there...

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks
