Wow, this sounds like what would happen in IE if the non-floated
elements and the float were 'relative'! Jough, you may have
found a new IE6 bug.

Jeeze, I wish I had IE6 right now. Try this; Make both div.header
and div.logoimage 'relative', (but NOT the non-floated divs) and
let us know what happens, okay? I found this will behave well
in Moz1 and Op6/win.
