  The concept of freeze out volume used in many statistical approaches for
disassembly of hot nuclei leads to ambiguities. The fragmentation pattern and
the momentum distribution (temperature) of the emanated fragments are
determined by the phase space at the freeze-out volume where the interaction
among the fragments is supposedly frozen out. However, to get coherence with
the experimental momentum distribution of the charged particles, one introduces
Coulomb acceleration beyond this freeze-out. To be consistent, we investigate
the effect of the attractive nuclear force beyond this volume and find that the
possible recombination of the fragments alters the physical observables
significantly casting doubt on the consistency of the statistical model.
