 Hi Sergey,

 thanks for relating the other tickets to this issue. Currently WordPress
 per default is not compatible with zlib enabled. While Server-Side-
 Compression is recommened by search engines and most browsers, the other
 tickets linked by you recommend either disabling zlib or inserting a
 hotfix.

 I don't want to live with a hotfix over the next years which needs to be
 re-applied manually with every WordPress update.

 I would recommend dropping support for PHP 5.2 (or even check wether PHP
 5.3 is on server) to avoid that a compatibility function
 (wp_ob_end_flush_all()) for PHP 5.2 produces new errors on PHP 5.3
 installations with zlib enabled.

 So I hope that the developers of WordPress will fix this issue and don't
 let me hotfix that the next years until PHP 5.2 support is finally
 dropped.

 Kind regards,

 Matthias
