Subject: CF regular expressions buggy?

Anyone else have problems with regular expressions in CF 4.5.1 SP2? I have this reg exp code that validates an email address (found the code in the archives of this list). When I run certain email addresses through it, it locks up my CF server! It floors the CPU until I kill the thread. And sometimes it doesn't lock up, but when the page is displayed I can see that that part of the code took 18569 ms to execute! I havn't been able to figure out exactly what it is in some addresses that cause it. It seems to happen when I make it longer. If dfdf@dfdf.com goes through, sometimes I try something like dfdf@dfdf.cofdfdfmfdffgf and it hangs.
Does this code look OK, or is there a variant of it I could try that maybe won't be buggy? My next option is to just do the validation piece by piece: find the last ., make sure there are x chars after it, make sure it only has one @ sign, no spaces or other ilegal chars, etc etc.
<CFIF Len(fieldvalue) AND NOT REFindNoCase('(^[[:alnum:]]([._-]?[[:alnum:]]+)*+\@[[:alnum:]]+([.-]?[[:alnum:]]+)*\.[[:alpha:]]{1,4}$)', fieldvalue, "True")> Invalid! </CFIF>
Thanks for any help.
