Summary: Python2.0 re module: greedy regexp bug 2

Initial Comment:
Yeah, try this:
re.search(r"<!--.*?--\s*>", "<!--- bla --->")
and it does not match, but it should match, no?
In more complicated examples I even get infinite
recursion,
if youre interested, I will make a script for this.

The above example should be in the Regression Test
Suite.

Look also at [ #405358 ] Python2.0 re module: greedy
regexp bug,
perhaps this is somehow related? I dont know.

Ok, its closed in recent builds, but this is still a
candidate for the
Python 2.01 bugfix release.

Works for me in recent builds, so I guess it's fixed.

Someone want to mark it closed?
