This is a bug in IE/Win: in presence of italics text it renders (sometimes)
paragraphs and other containers wider than the correct width. Read more here
[1].
In your case the simplest fix is to add this (apparently redundant ;)
declaration:
#content { overflow: visible; }
This will fix IE5.5 and IE6. If you need to fix IE5.0 as well, then things
are a bit more complex, read the details in that article.
