Yep!  Turns out it had nothing to do with the regex.  The file was a
binary file, and when I opened it in "r" mode and called readlines, I
didn't get all of the file.  When I opened it in "rb" mode, it started
working.  The manual seems to suggest this is only an issue on some
operating systems, such as Windows.

Thanks for the feedback!
