Looking at this through firebug, and after zooming out one notch, the left border on #maincol has a
computed width of 1.1333px. That of course, throws everything off.
Safari 5 need 3 notches down to have the layout collapse. Here, it is the width that doesn't add
up.
In both browsers, you are fighting a kind of 'rounding-errors'.
One possible way out: don't float your right-hand column (#maincol), and don't declare a width on it
(only tested with Firefox and Safari). Simply set 'overflow: hidden' on that element. It will
position itself correctly (block formatting context adjacent to a floated block). Oh, and don't
declare a width on the 3 div elements inside #maincol. It is not needed, the elements being in the
normal flow will take the full width of the parent.
