Your regexp is far too greedy, if there's multiple occurences, you might find that it strips them all out and everything in between. Something like the following (untested) may work;

php Code:

$the_content = preg_replace('#(<a[^href]+href[^>]+>)<acronym[^>]+>([^<]+)</acronym></a>#', '$1$2</a>', $the_content);
