    \textit{A. Gut} and \textit{A. Spătaru} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 248, 233--246 (2000; Zbl 0961.60039)] proved a precise asymptotic theorem for random variables in the normal domain of attraction of some stable distribution with exponent \(\alpha\), \(1<\alpha\leq 2\). They also conjectured that the theorem should hold for the general case of the domain of attraction of a stable distribution. The authors provide a counterexample to this conjecture and prove further convergence theorems.
