Getting this in apache_tail:

Lungo, could you please see if this error occurs with the 4.0-dev code?

[Carl Leitner (litlfred)]

This error may be calling a very slow system. It does seem to cause the file dumper (which sends the .css and image files) to not work correctly as evidenced by this screenshot.

[Carl Leitner (litlfred)]

fixed by changing I2CE_Dumper.php source code as follows:

        //while (ob_get_level() > 0) {
            //ob_end_clean();
       // }

if (ob_get_level()) {
while (@ob_end_clean());
}

Lungo

This fix works, but the warning message spams up the apache log
