The current default setting for the THUMBNAIL_CACHE_TIMEOUT is 3600 * 24 * 365 * 10 (10 years in seconds). Memcached (the assumed and documented default cache server) interprets any timeouts above 30 days as epoch timestamps (see
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/FAQ#What_are_the_limits_on_setting_expire_time?_(why_is_there_a_30_d). The result then is that the timeout is set in the past (12/30/1979) instead of 10 years in the future as intended.
