I'm guessing the real problem is a doubled margin on the float,
causing it to take too much horizontal space and forcing the 
content block to drop below the float.

ul#sidebar is floated right and has a right margin. When such a 
float margin is trapped between the float and the inside edge of
the float container box, IE/win always doubles it. 

There is no "fix" for this, so you must hack in a smaller margin 
value for IE/win only.

Try this after the main #sidebar css rules:

* html #sidebar {margin-right: half normal value;}
*>html #sidebar {margin-right: normal value;}

The first is seen by all IE browsers, and the second is seen
only by IE5/mac, which doesn't need the halved margin value.
