Pages cut off in IE?

So I’ve gotten a few reports that some pages on the site (like this one) are cut off at the bottom when viewed in IE 6 for Windows or Safari on the Mac — but not in Firefox on PC, Firefox on Mac, or IE 5 for Mac. (Haven’t tried Opera yet).
We have found that on some pages if you resize the screen wider it’ll “pull up” the stuff that was pushed off the bottom, but you can’t just scroll down to it using the scrollbar.
Problem is, we don’t see anything wrong. Validating the HTML and CSS comes up clean. We’re baffled. Any web folks out there who have a clue as to what’s up?

It looks like I will be giving the closing address at the Games for Change Conference, which is taking place on June 27th and 28th, in New York City. If you’re going, maybe I will see you there!

Ambition is a funny thing. I’m speaking here of the ambitions that we might have for our work, the hopes that it might entertain or touch people, and the hopes that it will do well financially. It was interesting to read the comments on the posts on interesting NPCs and UO’s resource system (1, 2, 3.) and see so many of the players get excited about possibilities — and so many of the developers wonder if it was worth the effort.
