Summary:                    Bug in apr_memcache_stats routine
Description: 
There is a bug in apr_memcache_stats routine.

The code:

apr_memcache_stats_t *ret;
...
ret = apr_pcalloc(p, sizeof(apr_memcache_stats_t *));

is wrong because it allocates memory with size of _pointer_ to
apr_memcache_stats_t structure. But then this memory is used as
_structure_.
The right code should be:

ret = apr_pcalloc(p, sizeof(apr_memcache_stats_t));
