Looks like the Magik Creeping Text bug:
<http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/creep.html>
which is caused by the combination of left padding and a bottom border.

There are some fixes mentioned on the above page, but the key thing  
is to trigger hasLayout on the boxes with the creeping text. Try  
setting zoom: 1; on them to avoid mucking anything else up (although  
that won't fix it for IE<6, IIRC).

HTH,

Nick.
