After enabling the APCu cache as-per the documentation, when I get notification emails sent now, it does so multiple times. In my case, my Cron is every 5 minutes, so emails get sent to me every 5 minutes for around an hour.

The admin logging says the SMTP request timed out (like it always has done) but I do get the emails. Now, after enabling APCu, multiple times over the course of an hour. Has anyone run into this before?
