In the present analytical study of the stability of general, one-dimensional steady flows of optically thin fluids with a net heat-loss function, the application of the Hurwitz criteria reveals three thermal instability modes which correspond to the generalized Field's (1965) criteria under dynamic initial conditions. In particular, postshock flows in the primordial plasma which are cooled by bremsstrahlung emission are thermally unstable in the range of values of the wavenumber k; in this case, one stable and two overstable modes are present.
