Description:
------------
When a [url] has another malformed nested [url] in it, it 
crashes the PHP process upon parsing.

Reproduce code:
---------------
I already fixed the input in the database.

Sorry I cannot really reproduce easily, I'd have to restore a massive several - GB database. If you guys really need this, I'll do it.

Basically the input was something like:

[url="here was the URL"][b]Text]url=".."here it was kind of repeated]

Expected result:
----------------
Parsed BB code.

Actual result:
--------------
Crash

Hi, we also have a related bug. We use the tag [url] in 2 
different ways. For example links for specific url's we use: 
[url="http://google.com"]google.com[/url]

On our website we also have some blogs, we customized the 
url tag to also accept id's for example [url=1234]some 
text[/url]. All the above works fine. 

The problem is when a user uses [url="1234]some text[/url] 
(which is wrong), we would expect the parser to ignore the 
text as this is not valid bbcode. Instead we get a 
segmentation fault error!

Can you try the svn version?

I'll need to add some test case and probably rebuild a new release as a set of patches are waiting in svn for now.

Xavier.

just asking, are you void (or any other) going to repackage 
this to compile against PHP 5.3 ? anytime soon? this bbcode 
parser is 10x faster than any other, keep up the good work
