The site has "height" set for every single paragraph.  Sometimes the height
that's set is insuffucient (eg if the font you are using is bigger than what the
site expected).  In those cases you get overlap.

IE treats "height" as identical to "min-height", which is why it's not a problem
in IE; that's a bug in IE, however.

See bug 227493, "text overlap (IE treats height as min-height)", invalid.
