Sorry for the absence, emergency at work.

Marcel, what it looks like is happening there is that the link gets passed through the ReplaceURLs function when using the [url] tag, constructing the anchor tag and truncating the display text, if need be. Then, for some reason, that outputted code is being picked up by the chkURLs function and tries to pass both ocurrences of the URI through edit_hrefs.
