Earlier the test page was working on every browser I tested for Mac OS 
X, but right now, half don't display the scrollbar and one doesn't even 
display the text for the overflow=auto padding-bottom:1px div

Scrollbar and text display:

Camino v 2006021400 (1.0)
Firefox v 1.5.0.3
Netscape v 7.1

Text displays, but no scrollbar:

Safari v 2.0.3
iCab v B382 (3.0.2)
Omniweb v 5.1.2

No text or scrollbar:

Internet Explorer v 5.2
