virtual() and buffered output

hi,

i have a small patch against sapi/apache/php_apache.c (PHP4.0.0) to allow the usage of virtual() while in buffered-output-mode. the problem is, that the output of virtual() appears before any http-headers or regular output prior to the call of virtual(), because virtual() doesn't use the buffered-output-layer. 

the solution is to call php_end_ob_buffering(1) before virtual(). this also turns off the output-buffering for the remaining parts of the skript, but this should cause no real problems. after this we need an extra call of php_header() to ensure that the http-headers were really sent before calling run_sub_req().

this patch also closes error #2546 "virtual() causes HTTP headers problems".

regards 
marc
