CI causes Apache to drop an empty connection/response

[eluser]TheoR74[/eluser]
I am having the exact same problem.

in this section of code in CodeIgniter.php:

Code:

// Mark a start point so we can benchmark the controller
$BM->mark('controller_execution_time_( '.$class.' / '.$method.' )_start');
echo "ci test 1";
$CI = new $class();
echo "ci test 2";

With the echo statements in place, I get the first echo, but not the second.
What can I do to fix this?

This is in version 1.7.2
