I was afraid of that.  This is one of the stranger things I've seen 
lately.  If you paste the url of the image into the address bar, ie/mac 
can display it just fine.  On the page where it should be showing up I 
sometimes get nothing, and other times I get ie's image icon, but no 
image.  To add another layer of weirdness, if I right-click (ctrl-click 
for you true believers :) ) the image and choose 'copy image' the image 
shows up correctly in the clipboard and can be pasted into other 
applications.  If I move the image above the ul in #mast, it displays 
just fine.

I'm at a loss to explain this.

The only solution I've found I don't like, and I doubt it will work 
well an other browsers.  I'm only showing it here in hopes that it will 
give you another avenue to explore :)

----------- css ---------
#bluImg {
	clear: both;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
     height: 180px;
     width: 100%;
     background-image: url(/images/masthead.gif);
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
-----  html  --------
<div id="mast">
     	<ul>
.... snip ...
     	</ul>
</div>
<div id="bluImg"> </div>


Sorry I don't have a good answer for you.
