  When the free energy density of QCD is expanded in a series in the chemical
potential, mu, the Taylor coefficients are the non-linear quark number
susceptibilities. We show that these depend on the prescription for putting
chemical potential on the lattice, making all extrapolations in chemical
potential prescription dependent at finite lattice spacing. To put bounds on
the prescription dependence, we investigate the magnitude of the non-linear
susceptibilities over a range of temperature, T, in QCD with two degenerate
flavours of light dynamical quarks at lattice spacing 1/4T. The prescription
dependence is removed in quenched QCD through a continuum extrapolation, and
the dependence of the pressure, P, on mu is obtained.
