  We re-examine the properties of the star cluster population in the
circumnuclear starburst ring in the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 7742, whose young
cluster mass function has been reported to exhibit significant deviations from
the canonical power law. We base our reassessment on the clusters' luminosities
(an observational quantity) rather than their masses (a derived quantity), and
confirm conclusively that the galaxy's starburst-ring clusters---and
particularly the youngest subsample, $\log(t \mbox{ yr}^{-1}) \le 7.2$---show
evidence of a turnover in the cluster luminosity function well above the 90\%
completeness limit adopted to ensure the reliability of our results. This
confirmation emphasises the unique conundrum posed by this unusual cluster
population.
