[leafnode-list] only_groups_pcre and crossposting

[Joshua Crawford]

G'day,

I have as part of my config:

  server = news.individual.net
  username = ********
  password = ********
  only_groups_pcre = (?!(alt\.binaries|alt\.cmm))

  server=news.mel.connect.com.au

So, as I understand it (and wish it to be), any posts that aren't to a
binaries group or to alt.cmm will be posted through Individual and those
that are, through my ISP. But, just now, I tried sending a crosspost, with a
binaries group listed second
(alt.fan.robert-jordan,alt.binaries.fan.robert-jordan) and found the post in
failed.postings:

I switched the order of the groups around and it posted fine through my ISP:

Is this a leafnode bug, or am I misunderstanding how PCRE's work?
