I doubt it is a problem with the software. mod_rewrite has been put
through the paces over the years and I'd be shocked if a bug were
uncovered given your rule's relative simplicity.

Before digesting your post in its entirety, I have a couple of questions
first.

1.) Where have you defined the rewrite rule? In a .htaccess file?

2.) Have you defined a RewriteBase? If so, what is it?

3.) Have you reviewed Apache's access log at all?

4.) Have you increased RewriteLogLevel to, say, 4, to see exactly what
the mod_rewrite engine is doing?
