[IronPython] differences in IronPython/CPython regular expressions?

BTW, depending on how CPython regex syntax and semantics compares to Oniguruma (Ruby's Regex engine) it might be useful to look at the implementation for IronRuby (http://github.com/IronLanguages/main/blob/master/Languages/Ruby/Ruby/Builtins/RegexpTransformer.cs)
I implemented Oniguruma compatible parser that translates 99% of the features to .NET. There are a few missing features that can be implemented relatively easily and then there are some Unicode features that would be quite difficult to do since .NET Regex doesn't support Unicode so much.
In any case, if you found you need to fix the IronPython translator and the fix would require precise understanding of the syntax it might be worth it to reuse the code from IronRuby.

Any chance you could get a debugger on there and figure out where the SOE is (IronPython or .NET)? If not, I can try to take a look if you send the complete regex, but probably not until the weekend.
