unwanted padding/margin in ie6...help!!!

hi guys,

bit of a strange one. when using the holly hack to address the well-documented "expanding box" problem in ie6, i encounter an undesired side-affect - all my unordered list items exhibit a phantom 4px pad (right & bottom only).

i've attached some sample code to illustrate (in this case with images although it applies to text also).

any clues? :(
