IE5.5 gets absolute positioning wrong

Hi
I have only got NN7, Opera 7.1 and IE5.5 to test with. Anyway, please
have a look at

http://p0c79.phpwebhosting.com/~p0c79/test100.html

The absolutely positioned red div is correctly positioned at the top left
corner of the blue div in NN7 and Opera7.1, but it is situated at the top
right corner of the purple div in IE5.5

Can anyone explain the difference in behaviour with regards to how IE5.5
handles the absolutely positioed red div.

thanks
david
