IE doesn't understand that the div is empty, so it adds line-height.

Add a comment inside it, and IE will come to its senses...
----------------------------------------------------
This red div below should be 1px / 100%
<div id="stubbornbox" style=""><!-- --></div>
----------------------------------------------------
...and such a comment won't disturb even if you add some real content
later - and you can take the comment out then.

Note that Holly's 'overflow: hidden' actually works as 'max-height' -
preventing the div from ever growing taller than 1px no matter how much
content you put into it. So, that solution won't work well in a real page.
