We consider the critical heat equation [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a smooth bounded domain in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a ball of [Formula: see text] of center [Formula: see text] and radius [Formula: see text] small. We show that if [Formula: see text] is small enough, then there exists a sign-changing stationary solution [Formula: see text] of (CH) such that the solution of (CH) with initial value [Formula: see text] blows up if [Formula: see text] is sufficiently small. This shows, in particular, that the set of the initial conditions for which the solution of (CH) is global and bounded is not star-shaped.
