I'm not seeing any corruption at PlotPoints->{150,150} compared to 
PlotPoints->{120,120}.  That's Mathematica 6.0.3 under Windows XP.

I presume the main reason you want to set the value of PlotPoints is in 
order to see the poles with smaller real part.  But you might try using 
MaxRecursion instead of PlotPoints.
