Two recently reported treatments (J. M. Porra {ital et} {ital al}., Phys. Rev. A 44, 4866 (1991) and I. L'Heureux and R. Kapral, J. Chem. Phys. 88, 7468 (1988)) of the problem of bistability driven by dichotomous colored noise with a small correlation time are brought into agreement with each other and with the exact numerical results of L'Heureux and Kapral (J. Chem. Phys. 90, 2453 (1989)).
