Sorry for taking so long to get around to this... Most of the time when this happens, it's because of the column widths. 750px + 190px = 940px, but some designers recommend you leave a pixel or two gap because sometimes the browser will force the floated sidebar to the bottom, thinking that there's not enough room for it. Unfortunately, I may not have access to IE6 for the next few days, so I may not be able to suggest more than that.

EDIT: Upon review in IE6, it looks like the problem may be the 1px left border you're assigning to .widget{}. You may need to reduce the width of the #beta column by one pixel to compensate, e.g.
#beta { width: 189px;}

Thanks for the help! I just tried putting that code in, but right now *I* don't have access to IE6, lol. I'll have to see if it worked later.
