  Because of their capability to preserve steady-states, well-balanced schemes
for Shallow Water equations are becoming popular. Among them, the hydrostatic
reconstruction proposed in Audusse et al. (2004), coupled with a positive
numerical flux, allows to verify important mathematical and physical properties
like the positivity of the water height and, thus, to avoid unstabilities when
dealing with dry zones. In this note, we prove that this method exhibits an
abnormal behavior for some combinations of slope, mesh size and water height.
