 Description   

sometimes the topmost layer of the landscape is "scrambled".

the picture is from a bukkit 1.4 dev version, but i could also reproduce it on a vanilla mc 1.4 ssp world. first i thought that my RAM was faulty , but a friend confirmed that he's experiencing the same every so often. i can also remember to have this bug on mc 1.3.2

this screenshot is a bit more realistic. i used an vanilla mc 1.4.2 in ssp. the seed is 'pirate' i created the world two times to make sure it is a consistent bug
