Well the Bootstrap.php starts like this:
<?php
declare(ENCODING = 'utf-8');


But I think this has nothing to do with flow3 since the problem also 
occours if i have one PHP-File starting with the declare statement and 
uses Include to include a second one also having this statement. PHP 
throws an error complaining, the second (included) PHP-script not having 
the declaration in the first line.

All works well with the Windows version of XAMPP or on my mac using the 
php version provided by MacPorts...

I just wanted to let you know this fact, if someone encounters the same 
problem.

Kind regards
Helmut
