/.*?/s isn't enough to prevent that part of the regex from gobbling up multiple lines and also backtracking pathologically. For example, your regex will incorrectly match (after you fix \r \n? to \r? \n or just \n):

From: "Bungalo Bill" ... To: (wrong number) Call-ID: (wrong call) ... From: "Wrong Person" ... To: <sip:66666­66666@...> Call-ID: ThisIsTheWrongCallID
