this is a bug in NN4.x... there's no way to stop the bug...
there are ways to work around it...
- chop the image up and call each chunk in a different cell... never
call a bg image in the <table> tag...
- after you've chopped it up, you can prevent making an insanely
large image just to prevent expected tiling with CSS...
sample code:
<td style="background:#fffff url(/images/bg.gif) repeat-y;">
