We repeat and correct the recent calculation of the thermodynamic potentialof hot QCD in the limit of large number N_f of fermions. The new result for thethermal pressure turns out to agree significantly better with results obtainedfrom perturbation theory at small coupling. For large coupling, a nonmonotonicbehaviour is reproduced, but the pressure of the strongly coupled theory doesnot exceed the free pressure as long as the Landau pole ambiguity remainsnegligible numerically.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, JHEP3; v2: version accepted for publication in JHEP (title changed, 1 footnote added, 1 reference updated, content otherwise unchanged
