This is also an issue in Windows with std.regex using DMD 2.043

But I would like to add that it is always greedy prior to text. The first
assert will fail since it was not non-greedy and the second is what it should
be.

import std.regex;

void main() {
   assert(match("Hello there you silly person you.",
     regex(r"\b.+? you .+\w")).hit != "Hello there you silly");

   assert(match("Hello there you silly person you.",
     regex(r"\b.+? you .+\w")).hit == "there you silly person");
}
