No, there are no newlines at the end of any files. The problem was a new
behavior of system() in PHP5:

"The system() call also tries to automatically flush the web server's
output buffer after each line of output if PHP is running as a server
module."

Obviously system() in PHP5 tries to flush, but because it's wrapped in
ob_start() end ob_end_clean(), it's doesn't actually do. Unfortunately
an interal flag in PHP is set to "output has been sent" anyway (bug?). I
first changed it to passthru() instead of system(), but maybe I should
use shell_exec() in the future.
