That is the way iExploder works :-); it always wants to generate scrollbars, and those take up space (that is, they don't adjust the auto height of an element). I have worked around this by giving the element with overflow applied an extra 16px bottom-padding, but *only* for IE. The 16px is the height of the horizontal scrollbar. Rumours have it that IE 8 is not affected by this bug.
