Ruby script hangs on large first value

In the following script, writing the value "data" hangs the script unless a smaller value is written first.

In the wireshark trace, I do not see any outbound memcache traffic when the script fails.


require 'rubygems'
require 'couchbase'

begin
  
  #Create a large array and a small value
  value = 2
  data = Array.new

  for i in 0..200000
    data.push(Time.at(rand * Time.now.to_i))
  end

  cb = Couchbase.new("http://10.17.2.172:8091/pools/default")
  cb.quiet = false

  puts value;
  puts data.length();

  #uncomment out line below to have it work.
  #cb.set("smallValue1", value)

  cb.set("bigValue1",data)
  
  cb.set("smallValue2", value)

end
