Known bug?

[Jacek Machura]

Hi,

I was playing with official substituteExamle.java code.
I need to get everything between body tags, so expression I use is:

       <BODY\\s*(.*[\n])+?\\s*<\\/BODY>

It works great as long as length of the string between body tags is less

than 300 characters or so.
As soon as it's longer than that I get java exception. It looks like
infinite loop.

Is that a well known BUG or my expression is wrong (then why would it
work with short strings)?

Thanks for any suggestions,
