This is unfortunately not a very detailed bug report, and I'm heading
off for vacation so won't be around to follow up, but hopefully one of
the core developers can take a quick look at the code and may
immediately see something amiss.

After upgrading our test machines to the latest Git from
http://github.com/sstephenson/prototype/tree/master (as of 04-June)
our testers began reporting that some tooltips seemed to be positioned
offscreen in IE6 (we use an older version of Prototip for tooltips).
I tracked the problem down to the cumulativeOffset and
positionedOffset methods in Prototype - reverting all changes to those
methods back to the 1.6.0.2 versions resolved the problem, so perhaps
someone more knowledeable in Prototype might be able to take a look at
the recent changes and see if anything looks suspicious.

Note that everything worked fine in Firefox, and behavior in IE6
ranged from tooltips showing up offscreen to simply being out-of-
place.  We first tried resolving the issue by adding position:relative
to parent elements (an unfortunate hack in IE6) but for various
reasons this was not a solution that could be used.
