I've just checked again. Enlarged the XObjView window to desktop
height, and rotated the globe every which way.
Zoomed in, zoomed out, I don't see any gaps/artefects anywhere.
And that's with either Hardware or Software selected in Prefs.
OK, the poles look a little like puckered up arseholes, but they're
tight litle arseholes with no room for leakage... ;-)
I'm running this under Windows, IDL v6.4. with an NVidia 8800GTS card.
How about emailing me a screen dump of your Holey Himalayas?
Is this a graphics card/OPENGL issue? Time for you to update that P3
800Mhz PC with the TNT Riva 16MB card?

competition, along come people like your brother
who charge like wounded bulls for stock standard team photos. No
