That page uses deeply nested tables for formatting :-(
with cells having class defined by css, and/or spacer gifs :-(

The cell to the left of the text has a <td width="5" ...

The text cell has no width defined,
I guess Amaya is assuming a width something near "5"

other browsers seem to use the width of the cell above
