Thanks Jason.  I escaped the URL by changing it from:

http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_HTTP_Methods_and_XST_(OWASP-CM-008)

to

http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_HTTP_Methods_and_XST_%28OWASP-CM-008%29

We could try to make the URL detection smarter, but it would be a
tough problem since in most cases you really do want to stop a URL
before a trailing ")".  Like if I wanted to link to the updated
http-methods page (http://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-methods.html).
