After much trial and error, I found that if I increase the output_buffering value in the php.ini file, this error goes away

I deleted the line and disabled memcache in the app, and the problem went away. So, long story short, a very specific problem encountered in a specific environment, that might not be generally applicable. But, since you asked...
