if the main content is too big ( http://www.glazman.org/weblog/ ), the content
goes over the border.

normally ( in firefox 1.0.2 ) the border changes at the size of the bigest
content ( navigation or main content )

Reproducible: Always

This is actually correct as the main div (id="main") has position:absolute set
and is therefore not taken into account for calculating the height of the root
element which has the border set.
