The problem is that it matches the first foo with the first /foo and the
second foo witht eh /foo ( andmatches those properly) but it also matches
the first foo with the second /foo (thisnk of the logic of the regex).
What you need to do is rather than specify any character (.*) specify any
character which is not <foo> ie something like ^[<foo>]*
