If you apply float: left; on .article you will see that behavior. 
Alternatively, add a clearing element, e.g. a "clearing div" just before 
the </div> for .article.

FF is actually more correct in this case.  On my IE6 WinXP-SP2 install, 
the bottom of your image is getting cut off (like overflow: hidden), so 
it does not appear "fine" to me!
