  A naked singularity is formed by the collapse of a Sine-Gordon soliton in 1+1
dimensional dilaton gravity with a negative cosmological constant. We examine
the quantum stress tensor resulting from the formation of the singularity.
Consistent boundary conditions require that the incoming soliton is accompanied
by a flux of incoming radiation across past null infinity, but neglecting the
back reaction of the spacetime leads to the absurd conclusion that the total
energy entering the system by the time the observer is able to receive
information from the singularity is infinite. We conclude that the back
reaction must prevent the formation of the naked singularity.
