Abstract: We review the argument for field redefinitions arising from threshold corrections to heterotic string gauge couplings, and the relation between the linear and the chiral multiplet. In the type IIB case we argue that the necessity for moduli mixing at one loop order has not been clearly established, since this is based on extending the background field expansion way beyond its regime of validity. We also resolve some issues related to the form of non-perturbative terms resulting from gaugino condensation. This enables us to estimate the effective cutoff in the field theory by evaluating the non-perturbative superpotential by two different methods, and find that it is around the Kaluza-Klein scale, as one might have expected on general grounds of self-consistency.
