  Thermal properties of few-fermion (n < 5) systems are investigated. The
dependence of the heat capacity on the topology and shape of the cavity
containing the particles is analyzed. It is found that the maximum of the heat
capacity, occuring at low T, discussed recently by Toutounji for a system with
n = 1 fermions, is even more visible for n = 2, but fades away for n = 3 and 4.
For large T, the classical behavior is obtained; however, when T -> 0, the heat
capacity tends to zero exponentially, not linearly, as in macroscopic and even
mesoscopic systems. The physical relevance of these results is discussed.
