Yes, there should always be some output. I've just tried the
configurator myself after having instructed Mozilla to deny all
cookies from my machine --- it still works (which is cool if it were
not for the fact that it doesn't bring us any closer to solving your
problem...).

The <html><body></body></html> string seams to be what Mozilla inserts
when it loads an empty document --- I just tried it with a completely
empty HTML file and the <html>... string what there in Mozilla. It's a
a bit strange that it insists on inserting these tags...

I'm just running a standard setup using PHP 4.2.3 from Debian
unstable.  I just gave PhpWeather a try with safe-mode turned on and
things still worked.

Great! It's so annoying to have to keep supporting versions of PHP
that are several years old...
