100% height is limited to 100% of window-height - regardless of what height
that window has. Only IE/win with its auto-expansion, 'hasLayout'[1]
related, bug will expand elements beyond that.

The wanted expansion can be achieved by adding...

#bd2 {display: table;)
#body-text {display; table-cell;}

...making standard compliant browsers render the elements as if they were
HTML tables - which is pretty much what IE does anyway.
What you get is elements that act as if they have 'min-height: 100%', that
will expand to make room for content.
