regular pattern checking does not work for [.\n]*

           Summary: regular pattern checking does not work for [.\n]*
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 2.1.0
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: maikel.jansen@asml.nl


I have the following simple type:

<simpleType name="testRegType">
  <restriction base="string">
    <pattern value="[.\n]*"/>
  </restriction>
</simpleType>

which is a valid XML Schema type, also according to the xerces C++ parser.

However when validating the following document (element X has type testRegType):

<X>
 The next sentence is not true 
 The previous sentence is true
</X>

Pparse gives the following error:
  Message: Datatype error: Type:InvalidDatatypeValueException, Message:Value '
 The next sentence is not true 
 The previous sentence is true ' does not match regular expression facet '[.\n]*

However, the value DOES match the pattern. This seems like a bug.
