import re
re.search(r'a(b[^b]*b|[^c])*cxxx',
'abbcacabbbbcabbbbbbcabbbbbbbbbbbbbbcacabbbbbbbbbbbbbbcabbbbcac')

perl seems to handle this just fine.

(The original problem was trying to translate some html to text:
re.sub(r'<p(?:"[^"]*"|[^>])*>(.*?)</p>', r'\1\n')

This hanged on several files. Changing [^>] to [^">] resolved my
problem, but the general case remains.)
