Monte Carlo calculations of the specific heat of the four-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge model show a sharp peak where Creutz discovered a crossover in the value of the string tension. In this region is also found a rapid increase in the correlation length and a slowing down in the Monte Carlo convergence towards equilibrium.
