[issue11665] Regexp findall freezes

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett <python at mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:

Alex is correct.

This part:

    [^<>]*

can match an empty string, and it's nested with a repeated group. It stalls, repeatedly matching an empty string.

Incidentally, my regex implementation (available on PyPI) returns [].
