trouble with question mark in regex

the usual behavior for ? is to make sure you capture the shortest
match. this does not seem to work in gerh.

this is my code:

match (:: :intro: :not-used: :text-chunk: :beginning-of-next-article:)
[:ffile:] /(#http:.*?(CET|CEST) ....)(.*?)(#http:|$)/

i am searching through a file that contains newspaper articles
beginning with a header that looks something like this:

#http://fotball.bt.no/eliteserien/article131749.ece
Wed Mar 11 19:08:07 CEST 2009

i want to capture these first two lines with the variable :intro:,
however, at the very end of each article (in some newspapers), there
is a field where the journalists put their name and a timestamp. it
looks like this:

S: trond
T: Mon Sep 25 18:14:15 CEST 2006

the problem is that my program completely ignores the first timestamp,
and puts the entire article into the :intro: variable.



this is the output of crm -v
