Well worry no more, there is a simple fix:

selector {
min-height:500px;
height:auto !important;
height:500px;
}

This takes advantage of two IE6 bugs:

  1. IE6 ignores the !important and sets the height using the last line.
  2. IE6 treats height like it should treat min-height and lets child objects cause the parent to expand.

I found this helpful solution here.
