Underscores in links can generate undeeded em tags

As an example:

[ http://www.mysite.com/my_folder/file/](http://www.mysite.com/my_folder/fil e/) to read the report. Also see: at
http://www.mysite.com/test?q=xx_yy to test.

Generates

http://www.mysite.com/myfolder/file/ to read the report. Also see: at http://www.mysite.com/test?q=xxyy to test.

This site shows the output from various processors, showing others also
exhibit this problem. http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=%5Bhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fmy _folder%2Ffile%2F%5D%28http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fmy_folder%2Ffile%2F+%2

The canonical Markdown.pl versions 1.0.1 / 1.0.2b8 also appear to exhibit this problem. As such, although this
issue is excepted, I've made it medium priority, pending a little more background reading / discussion on the
Markdown mailing list to establish what the correct behaviour should be across implementations.
