For APC, you'll need to put ABSPATH into the key, or multiple blogs on the same server will interfere with each other. Also, I've had problems with APC (using my own object cache backend) returning the wrong category (e.g. :category:1 will return data from :category:112 sometimes). I'm still investigating it... my solution for now has been to md5 the key, to ensure that I don't get some sort of partial match.

[dammit]

right, adding md5sum( ABSPATH . dbname . blogid) would be probably a good way to go.

there is something yet not complete here, as it failed to work on my main blog, I'll try testing in 'lab'.

No traction in over a year, so closing as wontfix.

Feel free to reopen if you have patches/suggestions/...
