We present a Monte Carlo calculation of the quark-liberating phase transition in lattice quantum chromodynamics. The transition temperature as a function of the lattice coupling g does not scale according to the perturbative beta function for 6/g/sup 2/<6.1. We use finite-size scaling in analyzing the properties of the lattice system near the transition point.
