You're specifying both -blocks and -dcache when using memcache, which
does not make sense. To be more specific, with memcache, -blocks will
specify one size for the cache, and -dcache will specify another size;
obviously you can only have one size for the cache.

Of course, you could calculate values for -blocks and -dcache that make
them specify the same size cache, but in that case there's no reason to
specify both. Just give -blocks if you want to specify the cache size.
