This doesn't match for me (assuming the first line is supposed to be
the regular expression and the second line is supposed to be the
target string).

This does match.  It doesn't hang, though - everything is working
fine.

How exactly does it hang for you?  It doesn't accept input anymore?
CPU usage is very high?
