[TYPO3-core] RFC: #12396: BUG: PHP Warning produced by "t3lib_div::flushOutputBuffers"

The output buffering was added to init.php (by Dmitry, actually) to fix 
a bug when trying to compress the BE. Unfortunately, init.php is called 
not only during normal BE usage, but also during BE AJAX calls, by the 
Install Tool and by the cli_dispatch script.

The short term solution would just be to add a test inside init.php to 
avoid starting output buffering when in CLI mode.

The longer term solution is to completely refactor/clean up init.php. 
Because it is called in so many contexts, it is extremely touchy to add 
anything to it right now. Problems cropped up, for example, when the 
cache framework initialization was added.

I have been meaning to do this cleanup for a long while now, but never 
had the time...

Cheers
