The content area is set to a height of 350px, so we obey that height.  The text
overflows out of that area and over the bottom content, which appears right
under the 350px box.

Not a browser bug.  We are doing what the code says to do.  It works in IE
because IE applies height incorrectly.

This bug no longer appears in Mozilla 1.7.5 or Firefox 1.0.2. I do not know if
the  website made any corrections.
