That's a bug in XSV, which will not be fixed, sorry. XSV uses
Python's native regexp mechanism if the pattern doesn't use mechanisms
Python doesn't implement, and Python '.' matches everything except \n.
XSV's support for pattern is not intended to be complete, as stated in
the documentation. Sorry if this is a problem for you.
