strings with more than one URL in them mis-parsed

Description

It appears that strings with more than one URL in them are parsed incorrectly. For example, 

See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API> and <http://haskell.forkio.com/>

gets treated as though there was only one URL. I get the impression that there's some kind of greedy matching going on, like a "<.*>" in regexp terms.

This manifests as funny looking output on hackage, eg.  http://hackage.haskell.org/package/mediawiki
