I've seen this happen on imported meshes before. The way the polygons are smoothed is different than how 3ds Max typically does it, and what you're seeing is Max trying to smooth between faces that shouldn't be.
Add a Smooth modifier, or go into subobject face (or element) and select the entire object and hit the Autosmooth button. Either of those should clear that up.
