hyperlinks that end with right parenthesis in comments not rendered correctly.

The comment at
http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/cu5/complexity_of_value_has_implications_fo
r_torture/6tna

shows three versions of the broken hyperlink rendering.  

Essentially a hyperlink ending in a ), the ) is not ever made part of the 
hyperlink and so the hyperlink is always broken in the comment.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1Put text
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(computer_security)
[hyperlink](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(computer_security))
in a comment.  

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You should see a literal link to a valid wiki page on one line, and on the next 
line the text "hyperlink" should be a hyperlink to that page.

What you get instead are two broken links.  In both broken links, the last 
right parenthesis is not considered part of the hyperlink and so one character 
")" is missing from the hyperlink, making it broken.

What version of which web browser are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome 19.0.1084.52 m running on Windows 7 Professional

Please provide any additional information below.

It would be nice if the first example (the auto-hyperlinked version) would 
include the close paren in the hyperlink, but the second example is just how 
Markdown works.
