Hello Jake,

This seems to be the Guillotine Bug [1] that effect both IE6 and IE7 but 
IE7 for some reason is not showing it (testing via IE8 in IE7 mode). The 
fix is to give some element hasLayout.

#header {
   height: 1%;
}


The setup seem to suggest that this is not the original Guillotine Bug 
[2] which only effect IE6-.
