dunno if this was a typo on your part, but shouldnt it be,
ini_get("output_buffering") ?

you might not be getting your settings from the ini file you think you are,
or there could be another one in the way. just for the hell of it, why not
give
php --ini
a shot, see if something unexpected crops up, and maybe poke around in all
of those files.
also, this brings up the point of setting local values on the cli. im not
sure how to do it. w/ apache, you can supply a .htaccess file which allows
you to alter values in the 'local' column of the phpinfo() output. anyone
know how to do it on the cli ?
