    Ah, the Netscape 6 line-height effect. Take a look at an article I wrote
some time back on the issue [1] -- which is now somewhat dated -- and read
the comments following it for some additional suggestions on fixes. Also,
one fix that I think might work, although I haven't yet tested it
exhaustively, is to apply line-height: 0px to all tds which contain images
that need to be positioned in a pixel-precise fashion.
