      In this note a simply-connected finite CW complex X of dimension four is constructed with the following property. For each positive integer m, there is an element \(\omega_ m\) of order m in \(\pi_{m+1}(\Omega X)\) whose Hurewicz image \(h(\omega_ m)\in H_{m+1}(\Omega X)\) also has order m. Such a space illustrates how intricate loop space homology can be even for relatively simple spaces.
