This is probably because of the font-size and line-height.  I use 
something like this:

<!-- stylesheet -->
.clearboth { font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; clear: both; }
.clearleft { font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; clear: left; }
.clearright { font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; clear: right; }


<!-- code -->
<img style="float: left;" ... />
<div class="clearboth"></div>
