It is shown that, in contrast to the MHD model, a perturbation at the boundary of convective stability of a finite-pressure plasma in confinement systems without an averaged minB in the Kruskal-Oberman model is not generally a purely flute one. The reasons for this discrepancy are clarified. The analysis is carried out for axisymmetric configurations formed by a poloidal magnetic field.
