re.finditer appears to fail to match within the first 7 characters in a string when re.MULTILINE is used:

>>> REGEX = re.compile("y")
>>> [list(m.start() for m in REGEX.finditer("{}y".format("x"*i), re.MULTILINE)) for i in range(10)]
[[], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [8], [9]]

Without re.MULTILINE, this works fine:

>>> [list(m.start() for m in REGEX.finditer("{}y".format("x"*i))) for i in range(10)]
[[0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]]

Passing re.MULTILINE to re.compile doesn't seem to have any effect.
