They must have reintroduced the bug. My copy of 0.5 showed your site with
no trails.

Well, maybe it's just me and we are like ships that pass in the night, but
all versions of IE under OSX have exhibited this kind of behaviour

where the actual scrollbars get spalltered across the page. The screenshot
is far from the worst I've seen it.
It's not the pages in question (although it's particularly prevalent with
pages in framesets), it simply seems to be relative to how much memory
you're using / how much hammering you've been giving IE.
Not a css issue though.
