One thing that MAY be happening though you did not mention is it is that
you are using a very low resolution image for the HF and have very sharp
transitions in the height values of the HF itself. Sometimes I have seen
"cracking" in these situations and the fix in my case was to increase the
size of the image used to make the HF from.
