With http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz

instead of 4.3.1 Problem is not resolved 
 
additionally the 'workaround' of using 
zlib_output_compression via alter_ini() for 
zlib.output_compression_level from inside script doesent work 
anymore either

Following Problem: 
 
After upgrading from apache1.3.26/php4.2.2 to apache1.3.27/php4.3.1 
we noticed a problem with 2 of our pages. 
 
Background: 
We use ob_gzhandler to compress pages, wich before the upgrade 
worked fine. After the upgrade 2 of several 100 pages didnt display in

IE/win anymore. Problem disappears of ob_gzhandler is not used. 
Other Browsers (mozilla/konqui/ie on mac/safari) didnt show this 
problem. Subsequent downgrade made problem dissapear. 
 
switching to zlib_output_compression = on with set_ini() calls 
adjusting zlib.output_compression_level from within the script works 
fine too. 
 
the code in question goes like this 
               
	       . 
               . 
               . 
               //build $this->pageSource 
               . 
               . 
               . 
               ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); 
               echo $this->pageSource; 
               ob_end_flush(); 
 
 
Getting the afflicted pages with wget sending appropriate headers and 
such gives me a nicely compressed page. 
Uncompressing the downloaded page with gzip shows gzip 
complaining about 'trailing grabage' wich it ignores. 
The uncompressed page afterwards looks just like expected in IE. 
 
This leads me to the assumption that the 'trailing garbage' is the 
problem and does not in fact get ignored by IE
