Response.End just stops processing. If your software is set up to dump what's left over at the end of excution then this is waht it will do.
Response.Buffer = True - When you do a response.end, the process ends so the system just happens to dump the buffer.
Response.Buffer = False - Response.End still just stops execution but nothing is buffered so nothing is dumped to the screen. Response.Flush also does nothing because nothing has been buffered.
Response.Buffer = True - When you do a response.end, the process ends so the system just happens to dump the buffer.
Response.Buffer = False - Response.End still just stops execution but nothing is buffered so nothing is dumped to the screen. Response.Flush also does nothing because nothing has been buffered.

I don't think I have ever set the value of Response.Buffer. Does it have a default value?
IIS 5+ the default is TRUE, so most likely TRUE for you :)
If Response.Buffer = True then Response.End does a Flush and then Stops (not taking any more writes and sending them to the browser.
If Response.Buffer = False then Response.Flush does nothing where Response.End just stops sending from that point on.
