usually this means that you need to explicitly stick a \n into the char
class or () expression.

using 's' is a bad idea.  'x' is much more powerful and more appropriate but
takes a bit of a quantum leap to get to grips with it.

did some linux driver hacking with sam this afternoon.  that kernel is
awful, but i think i have tamed it.  sam, on the other hand, is a charm.
