Witten long ago pointed out that the simplest Kaluza-Klein theory, withoutsupersymmetry, is subject to a catastrophic instability. There are a variety ofstring theories which are potentially subject to these instabilities. Here weexplore a number of questions: how generic are these instabilities? whathappens when a potential is generated on the moduli space? in the presence ofsupersymmetry breaking, is there still a distinction between supersymmetric andnon-supersymmetric states?Comment: Typos corrected, references adde
