The range of the biggest to smallest number could be too great.

flatvaluematrixnew=Map[#*{0.000001,1,1}&,flatvaluematrix]
ListPlot3D[flatvaluematrixnew]

Works just fine.  Can you scale this way and still get useful information? 
 ListPlot[] has no problem which is odd. 

p1=Map[ListPlot[#,Joined->True]&,flatvaluematrix];
Show[p1]


Maybe it is a limitation in the surfacing algorithms.  Not sure...

I have a matrix of 48 three-number lists that is for some reason killing
the kernel when I try to graph it.

ListPlot3D[flatvaluematrix]

Kaboom!

This fails under both Windows Mathematica 8.01 and Windows Mathematica 7.

Can anybody help?

Thank you.

(For those who are curious, the first number in the list is a date, the
second is an interest rate spread, and the third is the value of a
financial instrument on the specified date and the given spread).
