I suspect you're using an old version of Markdown. This bug was
fixed in 1.0b4:

    1.0b4: Thu 25 Mar 2004
    
    *   Fixed bug where a paragraph with multiple inline links or images
        -- i.e. [links like this](url "title") -- parsed incorrectly. The
        regex to match title strings was greedy, but shouldn't have been.
