At least it's consistent then - only got 1px of space, so let's just all
pile up :-)

I just had to test this some more, so I downloaded iCab: it appears the
line-height of the text is taken from the height of the parent. If i set
the height of the div to 20px, only the first line disappears against
the black background, while the next lines neatly wrap below it. If I
choose a 5px height, the text starts wrapping over itself already.
Setting an explicit line-height doesn't help though...
