Sounds like you're using Apache 1.3, which doesn't support non-greediness in
rewrite rules. MU was never designed to support as many server setups as WP,
and while progress was made in general during the merge to bridge that gap,
this is for example something that still remains. Not sure if we plan to
change that.

For virtual hosts, yes, you can set up a subdomain install. Of note, the
subdomain rewrite rules are much more simple, and should not pose a
compatibility issue with Apache 1.3.
