Description:
------------
When trying to use a ? character after a quantifier to stop the regex from being greedy, the compiler dies reporting "Unexpected MULTIPLIER(?)".

I hope I haven't missed the mark on this one - I'm no regex guru!

Test script:
---------------
/*!lex2php
%input $this->data
%counter $this->N
%token $this->token
%value $this->value
%line $this->line
T_INLINE_HTML = /(\s|.)+?(?=<[?%])/

Edit : Changed summary - firefox reverted it back to the last bug for some reason
