A Banach algebra A with radical R is said to have property (S) if the natural mapping from the algebraic tensor product A ⊗ A onto A2 is open, when A ⊗ A is given the protective norm. The purpose of this note is to provide a counterexample to Zinde's claim that when A is commutative and R is one dimensional the fulfillment of property (S) in A implies its fulfillment in the quotient algebra A/R.
