Can't use # as the delimiter between key prefixes and IDs.

[Kamil Swiatkowski]

Hi,

memcached daemon has an option to specify custom character as the delimeter between key prefixes and IDs. # character cannot be used because of limitation of /usr/share/memcached/scripts/start-memcached. This startup script parses /etc/memcached_*.conf files and treats every line with # sign as a comment, which is wrong in case of line like below:
-D #

Simple patch attached. I know it's not perfect but it works :)

Patch looks good to me. I don't see any problem with carrying it until upstream imports it, especially since I think distros are the only real users of start-memcached.

I forwarded it upstream and to Debian. Marking Triaged.
