IE6 double padding and margin bug

I was looking around the net and nothing works.

I have a box with an unorderd list and ie6 makes the padding and margin double size

.block {
    width: 236px;
    float: left;
    border: 1px solid #cecece;
    background: url(images/list_bg.png) repeat-y;

}

.block li {
        width: 237px;
        height: 74px;
        background: url(images/arrow.png) no-repeat 0px 13px, url(images/bottom.png) left bottom no-repeat;
        margin-left: 30px;
        padding: 0px 20px;
        list-style: none;
        line-height: 36px;

    }

if i add display inline it breaks, what do im doing wrong?

Your box is narrower than the list item inside of it.

You should have a look at the Box Model
