Hmm, seems like now would be fine....

Well the one I snapshot was Galeon 1.3.12 (Linux).  But the same thing
happened with Firefox 0.9.1 (Linux).  Same problem with Mozilla 1.6 (Linux). I
finally fired up my windows machine and with Firefox 1.0.2 and IE 6 it looks
correct.  So it would appear this problem is limited to older versions of Mozilla.
