You're probably running afoul of a bug in IE. IE 5 incorrectly considered the border and padding to be part of the width and height of a box. IE6 can work correctly but it chooses whether to support the buggy behavior or the correct behavior based on the DOCTYPE of the document. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnie60/html/cssenhancements.asp explains how IE6 makes it decision.
