We point out that some recently proposed string theory realizations ofdynamical supersymmetry breaking actually do not break supersymmetry in theusual desired sense. Instead, there is a runaway potential, which slides downto a supersymmetric vacuum at infinite expectation values for some fields. Therunaway direction is not on a separated branch; rather, it shows up asa"tadpole" everywhere on the moduli space of field expectation values.Comment: 12 pages, no figures. v2: reference chang
