Allan,

I think what he means by zig-zag, is that on the screen display with
the default PlotPoints setting there is a slight "wavy-ness" to the
plot.  As I pointed out in my post, it only seems to appear on the
display.  Setting PlotPoints -> 2 (or a similar small number) seems to
clear up the display.
