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.
