Re: Plot3D crashes Mathematica 6.02

When I evaluate

Plot3D[(10 (x - y))/((x^2 + y^2 + 1) E^-((x - y)^2 + (x + y)^2)), {x, -10, 
10}, {y, -10, 10}]

in Version 6.0.2 on 32-bit Windows Vista I don't obtain any error messages, 
nor do I get a very interesting plot.

If the function represents anything physical it would be interesting to know 
what it is and what the important features are. It is something of a 
challenge to attempt to graphically represent the function because the 
exponential factor is so dominant. It is the type of plot that might require 
multiple images. Near the origin the function is just a simple slanted 
plane.

Plot3D[(10 (x - y))/((x^2 + y^2 + 1) E^-((x - y)^2 + (x + y)^2)), {x, -.1, 
..1}, {y, -.1, .1},
 PlotRange -> All]

Series[(10 (x - y))/((x^2 + y^2 + 1) E^-((x - y)^2 + (x + y)^2)), {x,
   0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}] // Normal
10 x - 10 y

and this is all multiplied by a scaling factor, plotted in Log form:

ContourPlot[
 Log[10, 1/((x^2 + y^2 + 1) E^-((x - y)^2 + (x + y)^2))], {x, -10, 10}, 
{y, -10, 10},
 PlotRange -> All]
