In this instance, I was fortunate enough that the line-height wasn't a big deal. I just changed it to 20px and all was well. I'm still kind of confused as to why <code>line-height</code> forces a smaller container to change its size. I guess it seems to me that <code>height</code> should wield more power. Then again, it IS IE, after all. Shawn, this is a no spanking web site. ;) John, I’ll have to keep that in mind for future use.

[h1]My Header[/h1] </code> IE would hold up the content beneath the h1 until its line-height was satisfied (an extra 100px), and that was no good. So I hid the overflow on the h1, and it renders just dandy.
