Re Mathematica 3.0 (Windows 95).

In response to...

<<Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`
Plot[PDF[NormalDistribution[0,1],x],{x,-2,2}]

...the message appears "plot: plnr:  PDF[NormalDistribution[0,1],x] is not 
a machine-size real number at x = 0.1696...?"

What am I doing wrong?  Everything works well (a graph is produced) for:

<<Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`
Plot[CDF[GammaDistribution[3,1],x],{x,0,10}]


Why does Mathematica fail to graph in one but not the other?

Thanks.

Bruce
