Ok, the LFs and sometimes spaces come in, if for some reason one of the 
filers required/included bi mod/tools/em/index.php have some trailing 
whitespace afte the final ?>

Could have been me while messing with some debug code. Didn't check if 
it was in the distro (in this case 3.6.0).

Other solution is to add an ob_start() as the very first command and to 
a "while (@ob_end_clean());" right before doing the output for the 
.t3x.archive.

Of course removing the whitespace is the best solution adding the 
workarounds still make sense, because 3rd party code may bring 
whitespace in. And the Core has no control over them.

Anyway bug has been filed with desc and fix.
