Description:
------------
In my investigations on bug #61272 I found that since the output buffering 
rewrite in PHP 5.4 the flags passed to the second parameter of the callback 
passed to ob_start() have changed.

See the test in tests/output/ob_017.phpt and run the new test on PHP 5.3. From 
the output I've discovered the following: (might not be complete)

- PHP_OUTPUT_HANDLER_CONT seems to have a new meaning. It use to signal: more is 
coming. Now it means: this is a continuation of something you've received 
before.

- A new constant with value 8 seems to have been introduced. I don't know it's 
meaning, but I'm guessing it means output buffering will be ended after this 
call (ob_end_clean() causes a call to the callback with the 8 flag set)

BTW: I think the new situation is better, but needs to be documented. Especially 
because this is a functional change.
