  V.I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys 26(2) (1971) 29-43] constructed miniversal
deformations of square complex matrices under similarity. Reduction
transformations to them and also to miniversal deformations of matrix pencils
and matrices under congruence can be taken holomorphic. We prove that this is
not true for reduction transformations to miniversal deformations of matrices
under *congruence.
