I think they should, as this is the code for the mesh2:

#declare Earth_Slice=
mesh2
{
   vertex_vectors
   {
     xdim*ydim
     #declare row=0;
     #while (row<ydim)
       #declare col=0;
       #while (col<xdim)
         #declare clrvect=eval_pigment(map, <1/(xdim*2)+col/xdim, 
1-(1/(ydim*2)+row/ydim), 1>);
         // #warning concat("<",vstr(3, clrvect, ",",7,2),">")
         // #warning concat(str(col,2,0)," ",str(row,2,0))
         #declare hval=clrvect.red*65280+clrvect.green*255;
         #declare hval=-deadsea+rng/65535*hval;
         // #warning str(hval, 1, 2)
 
(rd+hval)*<sin(radians(-longstart-col/xdim))*cos(radians(latstart-row/ydim)),
                  sin(radians(latstart-row/ydim)), 
cos(radians(-longstart-col/xdim))*cos(radians(latstart-row/ydim))>*sf
         #if (!(row=ydim-1 & col=xdim-1)) // no comma after last vector
           ,
         #end
         #declare col=col+1;
       #end
       #declare row=row+1;
     #end
   }
   face_indices
   {
     (xdim-1)*(ydim-1)*2
     #declare r=0;
     #while (r<ydim-1)
       #declare c=0;
       #while (c<xdim-1)
         <r*xdim+c, r*xdim+c+1, (r+1)*xdim+c>,
         <r*xdim+c+1, (r+1)*xdim+c+1, (r+1)*xdim+c>
         #if (!(r=ydim-2 & c=xdim-2)) // no comma after last vector
           ,
         #end
         #declare c=c+1;
       #end
       #declare r=r+1;
     #end
   }
   texture
   {
     pigment { color rgb <0, 0.8, 0> }
     finish { ambient 0.1 diffuse 1 brilliance 0.4 }
   }
   double_illuminate
   translate ApproxLook*sf
}

Poseray? Is it free?

In my current scene, the camera is placed at "pedestrian eye's height", 
i. e. 1.7 metres above ground. But the problem remains with any camera 
height - the gaps then show up as black dots on the terrain!

See you in Khyberspace!
