Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

when you call flush() even if nothing was flushed PHP sets 
a flag indicating that body of the message was sent and no 
more headers can be sent. This is why you get an error from 
session_start() which attempts to send http headers.
