Specs:
Windows XP SP3
ATI Radeon HD6770
Didn't happen before the patch. The polygons only seem to go crazy when I am zoomed in close to my ship... I'm hoping this isn't hardware as I've had the video card for only a few months and it hasn't given me any problems yet.

I just updated Radeon drivers last night. Current driver version: Catalyst 2011.1025.2152.37348.
I'm starting to think this is software-related based on some new examples.
Here is another example from today. It looks like the scorpion model is what corrupted this time. This is a mate's scorpion up close.

Moments later he went out the wormhole and came back in and it looked like this:

As you can see only about 8 polygons are where they *should* be and the rest are offset and rotated updwards by about 90 degrees. |

I *think* I solved it. The solution for me was this:
1. I attempted to run the EVE repair tool as suggested by CCP Cascade - This FAILED due to an IO error.
2. Intuitively, I decided to run CHKDSK (My Computer -> Right click on C: -> Properties -> Tools tab -> Error Checking - I made sure to check both boxes and click Start. The system notified me that the check would run on startup, so I rebooted.
3. CHKDSK utility detected a bad cluster - it happened to be a file in C:\Program files\CPP\EVE\bin... I seem to remember it being a PYD file.
4. After reboot I retried the EVE repair tool. Among the files that were repaired was the resDX9Caldari.stuff file (perhaps the Scorpion model resides in this file?), as well as a few others.
Anyway, so far no problems. Thanks for all the support. I hope my hard drive isn't failing!
