This is probably because you were using a table prefix to distinguish
the two wikis, rather than a different database. This is not supported
properly by MediaWiki, and will be a problem whether you use Turck or
Memcached. The DB-based cache is the only one that's immune, since it's
stored in a table with a prefixed name.
