There's a thread about this via webdesign-L -- Eric Meyer, Joe Crawford, 
others:

Date: aug. 31, 2001
Subject: (incorrectly) centered content in IE6 (artlung.com

I can copy/paste the info if needed here, but what you're suggesting, Rudy, 
is what I believe the answer was. Eric Meyer gave a terrific explanation of 
what's going on and why that's happening. I flagged it.

Warmly,
Shirley
