Compare above page, as displayed in Ff1.0.2 & M$ IE6.

Ff initially renders text columns correctly then reshapes 3 columns so that
their text overlap one another.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://www.newscientist.com/contents.ns?articleQuery.queryString=issue:2495
Actual Results:  
Overlapping text

Attachment: Screenshot featuring Overlapping Columns

Screenshot attached.  Sorry, I accidentally emailed wrong individuals first.

Reproducable every time in both fullscreen or resized windows.	I do have
Win98SE though, so it might be my system...

I cant reproduce this, either with trunk build or 1.0.2

Can you re-test in safe mode?
