+Summary: regex engine doesn't handle /S correctly
+
+System.Text.RegularExpressions
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+a /s/S combination doesn't properly match all whitespace and non witespace
+characters as it does on the .net implementation. Code sample follows:
+
+ public static void Main(string[] args) {
+        string result = @"foo sdsd bar foobar";
+        string expression = @"foo[\s\S]*bar";       
+        Match match = Regex.Match(result, expression);
+        if (match.Success) {
+            Console.WriteLine("found a match" );
+        }
+        else {
+            Console.WriteLine( "didn't find one");
+        }
+    }
+
+In the example it should successfully match - [/s/S]* should match the
+'sdsd' part of the string. However it does not on mono.
