Not sure that's really what's happening, but it sure looks like it. 4px white top border for the menu in CSS; fine in FF but IE, not so much. Margin and padding in all rules set to 0px.

I'll post style sheet if this is not enough info.
Thanks so much for any help you can give.

You are using IE7, right? IE7 has issues with thin borders. It doesnt happen on IE8.

Sadly, I haven't even started testing IE7; this is IE8.

Well, I can tell ya to me it looks OK. I get the same size border on your page, with both Firefox and IE8.

In IE7 it's about twice the height compared to Firefox.
I noticed that 4 of your other stylesheets are not found, like this one wordpressLR/wp-content/themes/LR/styles/reset.css
Only style.css is found.
So it's hard to tell what causes it.

Thanks, henkholland -- deleted those extraneous stylesheets, and remaining errors relate to Event Calendar 7. Also upgraded to current 2.9.1. Still stuck.
I took out my defined border altogether to isolate the problem; I set padding, margins, and rules to 0px for both the masthead and the menu bar and still I see that small white gap.
Does anyone else have an idea?

So sorry, back and forth between sites, settled here:

Thanks so much --
I can only see this effect if I use IE8 in Compatibility mode (which generally represents what you'd see in IE7). You have one validation error (an extra closing </div> just before </body> that simply needs removing) and 1 CSS error (parse error in line 240 of LR/style.css).
None of the above should cause the gap in IE7, so I think it's simply down to IE7's faulty CSS box model. The best and easiest option would be to target a very short conditional sheet at IE7 or below. Could be something as easy as:
#menu {
position:relative;
top:-4px;
}in the conditional sheet.
