seems like, at least for me, jquery can't parse a "*" selector expression properly.

the attached html is an html file with nothing but the jquery script include inside. on firefox 3 and IE7 it produces a nullpointer issue with var "m" which should be the matched quickClass regexp.

it works with 1.2.5, but fails in 1.2.6 -- and the only change that might cause this is the quickClass regexp change:

1.2.5: quickClass = new RegExp("^(#.?)(" + chars + "*)");

1.2.6: quickClass = new RegExp("^(<#.>?)(" + chars + "*)");
