Hi,

I think I randomly ran into this same thing with sage-9.8 this week too.  My guess is that there is some sort of overflow bug in the computation of the y-axis labels.  It's probably one of the most severe bugs in sage ever, since it is so likely to be randomly misleading...

    I must be missing something here...

    sage: g(x)=x^10/(1-x)^11
    sage: plot(g(x),(0,0.9))

    sage: g(0.7)

    What's wrong?

or any other gross misconduct, are easily apparent and do not
call especially for admonition and instruction.
