  We study the stability of the replica-symmetric solution of a two-sublattice
infinite-range spin-glass model, which can describe the transition from
antiferromagnetic to spin glass state. The eigenvalues associated with
replica-symmetric perturbations are in general complex. The natural
generalization of the usual stability condition is to require the real part of
these eigenvalues to be positive. The necessary and sufficient conditions for
all the roots of the secular equation to have positive real parts is given by
the Hurwitz criterion. The generalized stability condition allows a consistent
analysis of the phase diagram within the replica-symmetric approximation.
