Yes, I did render it. I got a heightfield with a large scaled height 
which is scaled small in one direction. Sort of like a sheet that is 
crumpled in one direction. I thought what you wanted might be a sheet 
with bozo bumps and just got some directions flipped around. The 
dimensions were about right for that.
And the resolution does matter, otherwise you get a collection of jagged 
points where it is difficult to see anything. I found 50*50 to be just 
barely sufficient.
I didn't see any missing triangles, there were some shadows which might 
be what you are seeing. If you add ambient 1, you will see they are just 
shadows. Adding brilliance 3 makes the contours of the heightfield 
clearer.
Did you render my code? No missing triangles or anything else like that.
I rendered this with MacMegaPOV 0.3(Dec 22 release).
