Another Slicing error Missing Layer thread

Okay, I have looked at some of the other slicing error threads and I am pretty sure I am running into something unique.

I am printing out a pretty well known model, the buddha from thingiverse, but I am using the HD version http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:329057
Its 70 mb otherwise I would attach it.

Now I have sliced and printed this model several times without issue, or at leas I have never noticed it.
This time I am trying to blow it up to about 175% and I noticed two spots where the layer is missing.

I have tried changing layer heights but the only thing that seemed to make a difference is scaling. Anything over 100 seems to add some gaps.

Now I did the trick where you do the cross section and look for hidden geometry that screws it up but I didn't find anything

Here is a screenshot showing what I was talking about

I tried using the merge all outlines trick but that didn't seem to help.

Disregard.

I ran the mesh through netfabb and found issues


Fixed and printing fine.
