To which Antti Miettinem replied:

  I am happy to report that this does indeed eliminate the ugly artifacts.  I also
tried calling shademodel(FLAT), since the man page for dither() states that it only
takes place when gouraud shading is in effect.  This did NOT clean up the problem.

- Thanks for the suggestion!
