Description:
------------
There is a memory leak on memory allocated on \main\output.c(809):

		if ((handler->buffer.size - handler->buffer.used) <= buf->used) {
			size_t grow_int = PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_INITBUF_SIZE(handler->size);
			size_t grow_buf = PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_INITBUF_SIZE(buf->used - (handler->buffer.size - handler->buffer.used));
			size_t grow_max = MAX(grow_int, grow_buf);
			
			handler->buffer.data = erealloc(handler->buffer.data, handler->buffer.size + grow_max); /* memory was allocated here */
			handler->buffer.size += grow_max;
		}



phpinfo() code:

	/* Andale!  Andale!  Yee-Hah! */
	php_output_start_default(TSRMLS_C);
	php_print_info(flag TSRMLS_CC);
	php_output_end(TSRMLS_C);

Test script:
---------------
File file.php
---
<?php
phpinfo();

(only the non disablable modules are loaded)

php-cgi -dzlib.output_compression=1 -doutput_buffering=10K file.php

Interestingly there's also some corrupted/uninitialized memory in the memory leak message:

Note: there seems to be no leak if the environment variables HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING actually triggers the zlib compression.

Adding a line in output.c:810:

			handler->buffer.data = erealloc(handler->buffer.data, handler->buffer.size + grow_max);
			fprintf(stderr, "%X: %d\n", handler->buffer.data, php_output_get_level(TSRMLS_C));
			handler->buffer.size += grow_max;

At level 2 it's the zlib handler.
