Can't get rid of mysterious row space...

[fdgsogc]

I am putting a table together of 3 columns by 2 rows.

However, I am getting this annoying blank row under each of my rows of images. About 2 pixels in size. i want all the images borders to touch. Here is sample code demonstrating the problem. I have added borders for emphasis. Please copy this code into an html file and try for yourself.

			<table border="1" bordercolor="FF6666" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50%">
				<tr>
					<td>
					<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ibm.com/us/images/2005/03/030705_3_2_B_IGS_Auto.gif">[/URL]
					<img src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ibm.com/us/images/2005/03/030705_3_2_B_IGS_Auto.gif"[/URL] border="1">
					</a>
					</td>
					<td>
					<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ibm.com/us/images/2005/03/030705_3_2_B_IGS_Auto.gif">[/URL]

					</td>
				</tr>
			</table>

Any ideas?

Borrowed the IBM image for this example.

remove all the superfluous spaces:

<table border="1" bordercolor="FF6666" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50%">
    <tr>
