So what exactly is your bug report?
Are you saying that:
PHP 5.4.x + Debian + Apache 2.2.22 + Cgi is fine
but
PHP 5.4.x + Ubuntu and Centos + Apache 2.2.22 + Cgi is not?

Following has been tested to be working fine
PHP Version 5.4.4-14 + Debian + Apache 2.2.22 + Cgi
Output comes in realtime as expected.

I don't see how. CGI is pretty simple. It just writes to stdout and when you
call
flush() cgi does fflush(stdout). If you are seeing 4k buffers, it isn't coming
from PHP. Try it without your web server. Emulate CGI by setting the right env
variables (see the CGI spec) and you will see there is no buffering.

No mod deflate or mod gzip is there.
Apache does not appear to be buffering the output.
This is further confirmed when debugging with telnet. When opening the page
with
telnet, the output comes in chunks of 4K. This indicates that its php that is
buffering the content.

I doubt there is a bug here. Your data is likely being buffered by your web
server, most likely due to mod_deflate being enabled.

Description:
------------
Here is the program
-----------------------------------
ini_set('output_buffering', 0);
// Implicitly flush the buffer(s)
ini_set('implicit_flush', true);
ob_implicit_flush(true);
header('Content-Type: text/event-stream');
header('Cache-Control: no-cache'); // recommended to prevent caching of event
data.
//Should output step by step in realtime
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
{
echo sleep(1) . 'Ting';
ob_flush(); flush();
}
--------------------------------------
When opened in browser, it should output data in realtime, with each echo
statement. However it is outputting only after script execution completes.
Tested on Apache 2.2.22 + Php running as cgi, and with mod_fastcgi
Php CLI works as expected.
This happens on Php 5.4.x
