Description

Writing a message with an unclosed [url] tag in a bulletin board like
Hello [url] world
will result in the following exception in the log:

2010-10-26 10:12:42,466 ERROR [com.liferay.portlet.messageboards.util.BBCodeUtil] (liferay/message_boards) hello [url] world

The message seems to be found anyways, but the log messages are getting a bit annoying, because they re-appear on each reindex and the number of messages that cause this error is growing.

The bug is reproducable in Liferay 6 CE GA 3. I used Win7 and MySQL 5.1.50-community.

Steps to reproduce:

Download Tomcat Bundle:

Install as described here:

Install and setup MySQL and configure Liferay as described here:
http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Database+Configuration

Start liferay.
