Summary: xmlproc chokes on lengthy comments

Initial Comment:
Lengthy comment blocks cause xmlproc to raise a
RuntimeError: "maximum recursion depth exceeded"
error.  The problem is that a group is used to match an
individual character, and SRE recurses 
on group repeats: '([^-]|-[^-])*'.

Fix: would '(.*?)--' be an equivalent pattern?
