IE/win can't calculate percentage-width consistently.
Expect, and design for, at least a +/- 1px error.

An additional negative back-side margin on the float...
#right {
margin-right: -1px;
}
...will provide the necessary play-room for that IE-bug in your case.

Also, since IE6 doesn't support min-width, adding...
* html #right {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
...will "kill" its auto-expansion bug and reduce its tendency to drop
the right column on narrow windows. The fix doesn't make IE6 behave
correctly though.

You didn't ask, but IE6 also suffers from the /italic/ bug - the quote
in the header triggers it, making the total page-width erratic depending
on window width. Again it is the auto-expansion bug at play - reacting
on the /italic/ bug induced inconsistent width of that quote.
Adding...
* html #header {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
...will help IE6 behave a lot better in this respect.
