Sending an Item link in a /command crashes wow

[sweede]

I have, in my OnLoad() methid,

	SLASH_BID1 = "/bid";
		SlashCmdList["BID"] = function( msg )
			DKP_Bid_Auction_SlashCommandHandler( msg );
		end

later on,

msg = string.lower(msg);
	msgArgs = GetArgs(msg, " ");
	
	-- Get the number of arguments
	numArgs = table.getn(msgArgs);
				
... bunch of useless stuff ...

elseif (numArgs >= 3) then
		if (msgArgs[1] == "begin") then
			AuctionEnabled = true;
			DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("DKP_Bid: Auction started.");
			AuctionList = {};
			Display_Bidders("GUI");		
			AuctionToggleButton:SetText("End Auction");

			SendChatMessage("Send tell to "..UnitName('player').." with keyword `bid' to bid on ".. msgArgs[2] .. " @ " .. msgArgs[3] .."pts","GUILD")
	
		else

Which as you can see, i want to do
/bid begin [uber item] 7 (which repepresents the dkp cost of the item)

However, when i do that, the game either crashes, or only
Send tell to player with keyword `bid' to bid on
is shown. If i dont put an item link, but plain text (i.e. /bid begin foo 7), it displays the whole thing properly.


Any ideas on what im doing wrong ? I'm begining to point the blame at the strng.lower() and GetArgs() methods, but when i modify the code to completly bypass them, it still doesnt fix the problems.

thanks
