Summary: Maximum recursion limit exceeded

Initial Comment:
Hi!

I think I discovered a limitation of the "new" Regular
Expression engine.  I
have put together an example which shows the behavior at
 
http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e9326522/temporary/re_bug_example.zip
(69kB)

When the script is run with Python 1.5.2 by invoking
  psmergeNS.py *.ps

everything is fine and it produces a merged output file
containing both
PostScript files.

When using Python 2.x the following Exception is raised:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "psmergeNS4.py", line 35, in ?
      pages = theRE.findall(contents)
  RuntimeError: maximum recursion limit exceeded

This behavior is the same with the Linux and the Win32
version of Python.

Markus
