I can also confirm this in Ubuntu 9.04.  Here is yet another workaround.
After compiling the attached code using " gcc OpenUrlFile.c -o
OpenUrlFile.out ", I associate it with these files by right clicking on
a *.url file with Properties->Open With->Add->Use a custom command.  I
then browse to OpenUrlFile.out before selecting it in the Open With tab.
