(...) Was, ya. (...) I was using a regex involving \n\s* which compiled into a nondeterministic finite-state automata in Perl 5.004 and 5.005.

(...) OK, please try again now! (...) Whew! Thank you so much for finding and reporting this! I'm not sure yet[1] if this was a stupidly written regex on my part or bona fide bug in perl's[2] regex engine. Either way, the post you submitted caused (...)
