Improper negative LocationMatch behavior

           Summary: Improper negative LocationMatch behavior
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.39
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: belg4mit@mit.edu


I've googled, and fiddled to no ends. I have what I believe to
be a simple goal. I wish to:

        <LocationMatch !"^/bar">
                ProxyPass http://somehost
        </LocationMatch>

        <Location /bar>
                handler
        </Location>

The specific regexp used doesn't matter. the instant I add !
which is supposed
to be the negation character /bar is passed to the handler
properly, but
anything else is not proxied but served from the local system
instead.

So to reiterate what is desired:
        everything but /bar goes to somehost
        /bar is handled locally
