Description:
------------
The doc for ob_start() states:
"If the optional parameter chunk_size is passed, the buffer will be
flushed after any output call which causes the buffer's length to equal
or exceed chunk_size . Default value 0 means that the function is called
only in the end, other special value 1 sets chunk_size to 4096."
In HEAD, setting $chunk_size=1 actually does set the buffer threshold
size to 1 byte, rather than 4096 bytes as on 5_* and as documented.
Here's a simple patch for HEAD to restore the documented behaviour:

}
if (SUCCESS != php_output_start_user(output_handler, chunk_size,

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function flushCounter($input) {
static $counter=0;
return '[' . ++$counter . "] $input \n";
}
// This should set the buffer size to 4096
ob_start('flushCounter', 1);
// Get the buffer size:
$bufferInfo = ob_get_status(true);
var_dump($bufferInfo[0]['chunk_size']);
// If the buffer size is >1, these two chars should
// come out as part of a single flush:
echo "1";
echo "2";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
[1] int(4096)
12
Actual result:
--------------
[1] int(1)
[2] 1
[3] 2
[4]
