The problem is not the size of cache_mem (24M is rather big for a 128M system)
but the size of your cache.. For every object in your cache, a certain amount
of RAM is used (I'm not sure, but I thouht 64-byte for every object)..

So the solution might be to get more RAM (e.g. 512-MByte) or to reduce the
size of your cache..
