The strongest positive results in the stability theory of C*-algebras assert that if are sufficiently close C*-subalgebras of (H) of certain kinds, then there is a unitary operator U on H near I, such that . We give examples of C*-algebras , both isomorphic to the algebra of continuous functions from [0, 1] to the algebra of compact operators on Hilbert space, which can be as close as we like, yet for which there is no isomorphism α: → with . Thus the results mentioned do not extend to these C*-algebras.
