trys to download a empty document (last one is opera).

Set RewriteLogLevel to 5 or so and look at the rewrite log to see what
is happening. This is the best way I've found to diagnose strange
rewrite problems.

Two things:

1. Do these rules apply to more than 1 directory? If there will not be
anything in front of news_*.html, make sure to start with a carrot (^)
sign: eg. ^news_([0-9]+)\.html$
2. I think the first rule should have a LAST flag, because now after being
rewritten, it will be rewritten again by the second rule. As you can see,
the URI "news.html" matches ([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)\.html$.

If PT keeps the rule(s) from looping, where looping is the assumed cause of
the segment fault, apache just might be able to properly serve a page.
