Description:
------------
Platform: Mac OS X 10.8.2, MAMP 2.1.1, PHPStorm 5.0.4

If I would sum the HR we needed to solve this problem, it would took us two

days. For some reason on my mac machine the code stop to work, while on
windows 
machines everything runs perfect.

It was very hard to figure out was had gone wrong, because the error
message 
does not gave us any clue and pointed us into several wrong directions like

sending wrong http header and things like that.

The solution was simple and we just figured it out trough line by line
compare 
of some files in the svn history.

A simple break of line before "" destroyed the whole system. I really dont
know 
how this is possible. Normally the php parser should ignore this.

I had to listen to Mac bashing for two days from my colleagues, which
really 
sucks...
