+Summary: Regex isn't matched
+
+Description of Problem:
+The regex "^(a[^a]*)*a$" doesn't match the string "a a".
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. cat > Regex.cs << EOF
+using System;
+using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
+
+public class M {
+  public static void Main() {
+    Console.WriteLine (Regex.Matches("a a", @"^(a[^a]*)*a$").Count);
+  }
+}
+EOF
+2. mcs Regex.cs
+3. mono Regex.exe
+
+Actual Results:
+0
+
+Expected Results:
+1
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+I'm using Mono svn r56594
+
+When I run
+   echo 'a a' | egrep '^(a[^a]*)*a$'
+it outputs
+   a a
+so the regex should be correct.
+
+Also, if I remove one of the stars in the C# program, the program will run
+correctly.
