The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is analyzed for the case of a magnetized plasma streaming over a vacuum magnetic field with arbitrary orientation in the plane parallel to the interface. It is shown that the presence of even a very weak magnetic field within the plasma may suppress the instability, suggesting that turbulent mixing of plasma into the magnetosphere around an accreting X-ray source is probably not initiated solely through the growth of Kelvin-Helmholtz modes.
