imathis/octopress — Issue #390: Incorrectly rendered URLs?

I am consistently getting poorly formed URLs out of my octopress installation.

I am running:

* OS X 10.6
* ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]

and followed all of the installation instructions for Octopress rather closely. What comes out in my anchor tags is...

href=" /example.org/some/url /rest/of/url/file.html"

meaning that someone (Octo?, Jekyll?, Markdown?, ...) is doing a bad job of taking my simple Markdown URL and converting it into HTML. Throughout the entire site, I have had to mangle URL generation with code like this:

{{ post.title }}

because it is the only way I can coerce/force URL generation that eliminates spaces from the URLs and doesn't leave me with broken navigation anywhere.

I've run out of obvious (and non-obvious) ways to diagnose where the error exists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
