Bug description:Output is not discarded when ob_start() callback returns ""

Description:
------------
If ob_start() callback returns an empty string then nothing should be
printed. This is the current behavior in PHP 5.3. Behavior in PHP 5.4 is
different - if a callback returns an empty string then the result is same
as if it wouldn't be called at all - next call is prepended by last call
value.

So there is no way for callback how to discard the output.


Test script:
---------------
ob_start(function ($s) {
        fwrite(STDERR, strlen($s) . "\n");
        if ($s == "b\n") {
                return $s;
        }
        return "";
}, 2);
echo "a\n";
echo "b\n";
exit;


Expected result:
----------------
2
2
b
0


Actual result:
--------------
2
4
4
