That + directly after the \/ is strange

can someone tell me WHAT ON EARTH my version was doing to my
machine!?

The + means: 1 or more of the preceding. The preceding
is .* but the MATCH-operator is in between...

Ok, so I put the recipe into some sort of endless loop until some buffer
was filled, the did the same thing with the next message, and the next,
and the next, etc.  Until my memory was pretty much used up. Is this
pretty close to what happened?

                                - fleet -

PS:  I thought you guys liked your responses up top.  Oh well, I like this
way better - and that's what I'll stick with.
