Since APC 3.1.3, there is a bug (http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16814) which produces warnings like "Potential Cache Slam Averted for Key" when slam defense is on and you're trying to write a key that already exists.

These is not a fix right now for this, but you can change the APC settings from php.ini file like below if possible:

apc.write_lock = 1
apc.slam_defense = 0

Was using Memcache and Memcached extensions, painfully bouncing between faults, failures and shortcomings of each.  My two cents: Neither of these old drivers has been a smash hit, repressing and slowly dooming of the true potential and full use of unix memcached.

The pain finally drove to me to try APC's apc_store and apc_fetch.  The results?  Instant success, no more errors, an order of magnitude (at least) speed boost, plus one less thing (memcached) to run.  Nice.  Never going back again.  Thank y'all.

Flight disruptions continued at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) on Tuesday (December 9, 2025), with 58 IndiGo services cancelled for the day. The airline cancelled 14 arrivals and 44 departures, marking the first occasion since December 4 that the daily tally of cancellations has fallen below 100.

Several major routes to and from Hyderabad were affected, including Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Cochin, Visakhapatnam, Varanasi, Patna, Srinagar, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Prayagraj, Lucknow, Bagdogra, Chennai and Jodhpur. Although the overall number of cancellations has reduced, disruptions on key routes have continued to cause inconvenience to travellers, many of whom took to social media to express their frustration.
