FYI, this bug remains in 2.4final, which is a shame to me
(but probably just a timing mishap), as it makes 2.4
unusable to me.

However, the exact version I attached before does seem to
work on on 2.4final on WindowsXP, but still not on Linux. 
Attached is a version that still fails on 2.4final on all
systems I've tried.  The only difference is using
re.compile(...).match instead of re.match.
