It is quite obvious - like others have mentioned - that the triangles 
you see a gap between do not share the same vertices like they should. 
Note i am talking about *the same* here, not calculated from the same 
data.  Apart from the errors this could introduce (and the gaps you see) 
this is immensely inefficient - the very purpose of the mesh2 syntax is 
to avoid specifying the same vertices several times.

Note there is no need to code something new - Ingo's MMMM-macros 
(http://members.home.nl/seedseven/) can be used for this.
