It only happens with a precise combination of font sizes and window
width.  Try to play with these parameters and you will see the problem.
I have Mozilla 1.7.12 and Firefox 1.0.6.

It is considered bad web designing practice to depend on a precise window
geometry or on precise font sizes at the client size.  The patch that I
proposed only partially fixes the problem.  For instance, the page looks
width with a narrow browser window.
