PHP inserting extra data at start of response body



PHP version: PHP5
Server version: Apache 1.3 and 2.0 (observed on both version)
Platform: observed on Darwin-8.6.0/PPC and FreeBSD-6.1/i686

example:

Things I've noticed:

- browsers don't seem to mind it
- I've only seen hexadecimal characters
- only changes when page content changes (checksum of some kind?)

Can anyone explain this?!

Frase
