If precision errors can be ruled out, then it looks like that the common 
vertices of two adjacent triangles are actually slightly different... I've 
never seen something like this in a regular mesh2. One possible way to test 
this would be to choose one vertex coordinate (for instance x=3.8989901) and 
search for the beginning of the string (without the last digits, for 
instance 3.898). If you find something like x=3.898123 then it's probable 
that the vertices are duplicated and slightly off.
