When I use Mathematica 3.0 to plot:

Plot[Integrate[1/(1-t), {t, 0, x}], {x, -5, 5}]

I get the plot that I expect on [-5, 1) but then wild occilationS on (1,
Inf).  

I expected the plot to be the same as:

Plot[-Ln[1 - x], {x, -5, 5}].

Anyone know why the occilations after x=1 ?

any input would be appriciated!

:)

thanks, 
chris.
