That's correct. the second \r\n results in a null pattern (the null
string between the two \r\n pairs) that matches anything. I've fixed
this in Subversion for the next release. Empty and blank patterns will
be ignored. If you really want a pattern that matches anything, you'll
have to use '^' or '.'.
