Abstract: Consider a random walk with a drift to the right on $0,ldots,k$ where $k$ is random and geometrically distributed. We show that the tail $P[T>t]$ of the length $T$ of an excursion from $0$ decreases up to constants like $t^{-varrho}$ for some $varrho>0$ but is not regularly varying. We compute the oscillations of $t^{v}arrho,P[T>t]$ as $toinfty$ explicitly.
