Subject: [9fans] regexp not greedy enough

as you know trying to use sam for editing. ;-) I have another
problem with a regexp. I comment out some text with s:(.|\n)*:/*\n&\n*/:
This works but now I try to delete all comments. First I try
to select the region with /\/\*[^\/]*. But the regexp stops at
the first '\n'.

Why? How do I get the whole region?
