CSS: apply word-wrap break-word to fluid width text with floating image

Question

I need to break long words as for example long links. The layout I am working on is a fluid-layout, so no fixed width is provided. Instead of that, I need my text block to adjust to any container's width and get long words broken so that they justify to any width.

You have an example at http://jsfiddle.net/cYDJd/1/ in which you will see a long link which is not being broken by CSS rule word-wrap: break-word; while image is floating at the left. Only when the long link is below the image, word-wrap works fine.

Here you have the reduced version of JSFiddle's code:

CSS:

.left {
    float: left;
}
.justified-block {
    text-align: justify;
    word-wrap:break-word;
}

HTML:

<a href="#" class="left"><img src="some-image.jpg" /></a>
<p class="justified-block">Some text with a very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong link.</p>

I will appreciate very much your kind suggestions.
