or y > 1, (1/y - 1) is negative and the square root becomes
imaginary. Also, at y = 0, it blows up.
Using version 6 of Mathematica, there is no issue since Plot
will simply ignore the imaginary points and only plot the curve
where it has real values. For earlier versions of Mathematica
you will get the error you saw since
In[2]:= (1/y - 1)^(1/2) /. y -> 1.0000001666666667`
Out[2]= 0.+ 0.000408248 I
