  re> |(^/cgi-bin/mailman/[^/]*)(.*)$|
data> /cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
 0: /cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
 1: /cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
 2: 
data> /cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
 0: /cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
 1: /cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo
 2: /users

Looks to me as if the leading / at users was wrong.
