Why not try
y-sin(x/(min(z,0.01)) ?

or even max(z,0.01) ;)
... not a bad idea, but not really working (a max gradient of 3935 is a bit
OTT). Still, worth a try, but with a scaling-down of the returned value as
either x or z approach 0...
hmm, tried various hopeful monsters, but I'm getting very extreme shapes
with very high max gradients...
