Odd (Visual) Crack Effect in DOOM 1.2

There is a problem - what I refer to as a "crack effect" - which occurs
in DOOM version 1.2, with the introduction of the additional secret area. 

This occurs in E1, M1 in the "zig-zag" room.

After the floor where the brown imps stands has come down, go back to
the start of the area where the trigger for the elevator is.  If you walk 
along the wall edge facing toward the opening, at some point on the ground
a "crack" will appear showing the slime pit underneath.  This is a crack 
in the ground which is a line.

A similar effect occurs in what is probably the "busiest" level; where 
the user climbs a flight of stairs and triggers a platform to lower; by 
climbing onto that platform and jumping off either on one side to get a 
computer map in the alcove, or a radiation suit and the lowering of a 
cover over a chain saw, or on the other side to a platform with a chain 
gun and some ammo leading back to the stairs again, at one point it is 
possible to see (at least in version 1.1 it was) the "trip trigger" that 
lowers the floor; it is an odd shaped item at the side of the top of the 
stairs.

It makes me think of what it's like when you first see your blind spot; 
it's wierd because you didn't know it was there.
