Summary:                    memory leaks in apr_memcache_getp
Description: 
When I was testing apr_memcache with my program I found it was using more
and more memory.
My code is just like the official example with a big loop calling
apr_memcache_getp().

The source code is attached.

apr_memcache_getp() MUST allocate memory for data received from Memcached.
It allows to specify in second parameter a SEPARATE pool to allocate
memory for data received. You've specified the same pool as for
apr_memcache_create(), so apr_memcache_getp() allocates memory in the pool
that lives all time the program is run.

BUT even if you specify separate pool for apr_memcache_getp() then
apr_memcache still consume memory from the pool apr_memcache_create() was
called with.
It IS a bug. apr_memcache_getp() isn't supposed to allocate anything in
the pool apr_memcache_create() was called with.
