PHP 4.0 Bug #9031: ob_gzhandler memory leak and Headers already sent message!

From: aboldt@boldtconsult.com Operating system: Linux 2.2.18 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Performance problem Bug description: ob_gzhandler memory leak and Headers already sent message! When enabling output_handler = ob_gzhandler in php.ini, my Linux system starts to eat more and more memory in an unusual way, like there was a memory leak, like many people have reported. But what is absolutely weird is that after enabling ob_gzhandler, I start to get this error messages in my log files: Cannot add header information - headers already sent in Unknown on line 0 Which is weird, because one of the features of output buffering is to avoid that kind of problems. What's even more weird is that I don't get any "headers already sent" messages with output_handler = ob_gzhandler disabled! -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9031&edit=1
