IE5 on the Mac has some very buggy behaviour when it comes to right
floated elements in some situations. I notice you have a couple of those
in your page, and after I removed them the main/center div takes the
appropriate size. You should look to those right floated elements to
find the source of your problems. Some other people on the list have
more experience in dealing with these bugs and may be able to offer some
suggestions.
p.s. your doctype should use the full path for the DTD, like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
