I just remembered that I had to reapply min/Max width expressions for

content colum to the left by the same amount as the space to the
right of the globalwrapper.

You have problems with a series of IE6 bugs in that test page, so I
guess the live pages show similar problems.
1: the 'italic bug'[1] acts on main content and overall width, but of
course not on the #pedestal. You have to fix or avoid that italic bug,
or else there will intermittently pop up a horizontal scroll-bar when
italic text hits IE6.
2: the first declared font-size is in 'em', so you're triggering the 'em
font-resizing bug in IE5 - 7'[2]. That means the min-width in em part
of your expression is off by a mile if font-resizing is anything but
normal / medium.
Adding...
#globalwrapper { font-size: 100%;}
...will repair that.
3: the max-attack-value in the expression must be larger than
max-result-value, so the width of the space to the right of
#globalwrapper is accounted for.
4: #globalwrapper has to be extended to include all other containers, or
else IE6 will tend to render them out of sync because of its many bugs
- most seriously the 'italic bug' and the 'auto-expansion bug'.
This means moving the end-tag for #globalwrapper down to /body in the
markup, which I hope is possible for the live pages also.
