As Thorsten mentioned, this is probably due to precision errors causing 
rays to "fall through" the height field. Try moving the camera sideways 
a little, or rotate the height field by a fraction of a degree.

Also, since this isn't a strictly Macintosh problem, it would probably 
get a better response in povray.general.
