I see there was a discussion elsewhere on the list about exactly what
you are putting into DEF_VAR that causes the problem. Perhaps the commit
message here would be a good place to mention that, why the current
regex breaks it, and why your new version fixes not only it, but other
possible values of DEF_VAR.

Ah, should have known that you'd already be helping with this.
Thanks.
