Can be, but implicit_flush is documented like this (which is correct):

implicit_flush  boolean

FALSE by default. Changing this to TRUE tells PHP to tell the output 
layer to flush itself automatically after every output block. This is 
equivalent to calling the PHP function flush() after each and every call 
to print() or echo() and each and every HTML block. 

It says totally NOTHING about output buffering issues. This change also 
breaks internal functions:

<?php
$str = var_export ("foo", TRUE);
?>
'foo'

(While it should not have dumped the contents at all). Please revert 
this, as this breaks backward compability BIG time, and IMO this is not 
a shortcoming of CLI. BTW, where did you get that implicit_flush should 
disable all output buffers?
