New Comment:
The default pcre.backtrack_limit of 100000 from PHP is to low for this
regex.
With the PCRE default (10000000) the above regex is working.

Sorry the misspell, it's lazy, not greedy.

Didn't tested in other operative systems...

Description:
------------
Greedy match doesn't match more than 99997 characters. If you try to
greedy match
more than 99997 characters it matches nothing.
Test script:
---------------
// 99997 string length
$contents = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < 99997; ++$i) {
$contents .= "a";
}
preg_match('/^a*?$/', $contents, $match);
var_dump($match);
// 99998 string length
$contents = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < 99998; ++$i) {
$contents .= "a";
}
preg_match('/^a*?$/', $contents, $match);
var_dump($match);
Expected result:
----------------
To match the whole $contents content in both cases.
Actual result:
--------------
The first case match the whole $contents content, but in the second one
it match
nothing.
