Terrain texture glitching? - Java-Gaming.org

I am using Ardor3D for a game. I made a simple array terrain data provider (creates terrain out of a float array). Then, I used an awtexturesource (provides texture for the terrain) and added a white rectangle that fills the whole terrain. At certain angles, though, it looks like :

What are the random black areas??? What am I doing wrong?

Code: (ExampleBase is a simple base for games that calls initExample() then repeatedly calls updateExample() in a loop)
