Incompleted (truncated) PHP output

[Huan Truong]

I'm guessing the problem resides on gzip filter of php and/or of php->nginx 
proxying process too.

But strangely,

I have turned off the gzip filter on the code of the tiny_mce_gzip.php so 
that it will not produce gzip output AND turned off the gzip filter in the 
nginx.config file -- so that the produced output to client will not be 
compressed at all (I rechecked by debugging the returned header) - but 
things look worse. There are even more incompleted files. And they are even 
truncated at the earlier points. Even php scripts that are normally fine are 
incompleted.

Then I turned on the gzip filter of nginx again. Things went back fine. 
There are less incompleted files but this file: 
http://implicitbeauty.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php?ver=20070326&theme=advanced&language=en&lang=en&index=0 - 
still incompleted.

I'm guessing it's something relating to timeouts but I couldn't find out.
