Don't encode FastCGI responses using chunked transfer encoding, 
this is not something nginx can tolerate.

Note well that it's believed to be violation of the following 
clause in RFC 3875 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3875#section-6.3.4):

:    The script MUST NOT return any header fields that relate to
:    client-side communication issues and could affect the server's
:    ability to send the response to the client.

When needed and possible, nginx will encode responses using 
chunked encoding itself.
