Regex in sift statements

[Sherwood Botsford <sherwood@space.ualberta.ca>]

	The following regex behaves in a way that reveals my ignorance of 
regexes. 
	(.*)::([A-Z]*)	

	This will match on CAN:: and CANEDM::Q but fails for CANEDM::QQ

	I thought that * matched 0 or more occurences of the previous pattern
This appears to match 0 or 1 but not more.  This is the behaviour I'd 
have expected from [A-Z]?
