I'm on a Windows machine and am using Mozilla 1.7.12, Firefox 1.5 RC1, 
IE6 and Opera 8.5. They all render the page correctly - or so I think. 
Maybe I just don't understand what you mean by "div extending all the 
way to the bottom of the screen"

Here are some screenshots:

I ran your markup through Tidy and commented all the changes I made to 
your CSS. I commented the "stage_wrapper" div out. The page now 
validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict. W3C's CSS validator [1] indicates you 
have some issues with colours.

Hope it helps.
