21. We stress that the present assumption of smooth temperature variation over the persistence length ∼ m v / γ of the particle motion rules out the appearance of such hidden divergent heat contributions in the limit of vanishing inertia as the one discussed by I. Derenyi and R. D. Astumian, Phys. Rev. E 59, R6219 (1999); PLEEE8 1063-651X 10.1103/PhysRevE.59.R6219
22. T. Hondou and K. Sekimoto, Phys. Rev. E 62, 6021 (2000). Although both phenomena, the heat leakage and the entropic anomaly, are manifestations of the singular nature of the limit of vanishing inertia, they are therefore of intrinsically different nature.
