A sample servlet code to reproduce the issue

The issue happens only on Oracle JDK 8 update 151/152, not before.

Calling flush() on servlet response print writer while compression is enabled produces corrupted response.

See attached servlet.

As a side note, without looking at the merits of the BZ, I'd like to point out that the very common habit of doing flush and/or close at the end of a servlet is a bad idea, it may impair better error processing and will always degrade performance.

This is a know issue with the JRE and will fixed in the next JRE release.
