Here's a bug in turning URLs into actual links

When a dash is the last character of a URL, the DU software seems to burp on it.

If I post a URL with the http:// in front of it, like I normally would in the "source" box of an LBN posting, the DU software inserts a space before the dash, thus breaking it. But if I remove the http://, it works OK. Here's an example:

Broken: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/oct/20/righthaven-defendant-wins-first-lawsuit-dismissal-/
Works: www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/oct/20/righthaven-defendant-wins-first-lawsuit-dismissal-/
