memcp gets expiration time wrong

[Thomas Bachem]

The memcp (memccp on Debian systems) command line utility gets the supplied expire time wrong:

    memcp --verbose --servers=localhost --set --expire=1418563176 "foo:bar"
    op: set
    source file: foo:bar
    length: 4
    key: foo:bar
    flags: 0
    expires: 86307647862
    Calling memcached_free()

Providing a value of 54900000 leads to 1418723328, which brings me very near to my desired expiration time of 1418563176.

I tested this on Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Linux Debian 7.2.

I'm seeing this same issue on CentOS 5.6 and Ubuntu 12.04.

CentOS 5.6 with libmemcached version 1.0.4-3.el5

Ubuntu 12.04 with libmemcached version 0.42 and 0.44

As libmemcached evaluates the expire time differently depending upon if the seconds passed are < 30 days, it's worthwhile to note the same anomaly is seen with a much smaller value.

echo "Y" > testkey
memcp --verbose --debug --servers=localhost --expire=120 testkey
op: set
source file: testkey
length: 1
key: testkey
flags: 0
expires: 288

The < 30 day expiration trick is how Memcached itself works. libmemcached is just the transport.

Did you even read my original ticket? It has nothing to do with the 30 day behaviour.

Hit the wrong field :)

The bug is how the number is being read (one fix coming up).
