 The preg_match('/<!--more(.+?)?-->/', $content, $matches) that is used to
 find the more-tag matches content up to the end of a next comment if
 present.
 This is because while the first '?' indictaes non-greedy match, it still
 has to match at least one character, eting up the first '-' of '-->', and
 then only terminates on the end of the next comment.

 Changing to preg_match('/<!--more(.*?)-->/', $post, $matches) in wordpress
 /wp-includes/post.php and wordpress/wp-includes/post-template.php gives
 the correct behaviour.
