We show that QCD observables defined as infrared- and collinear-safe, according to the usual Sterman-Weinberg criteria, can nevertheless be infinite at accessible points inside phase space, to any finite order of perturbation theory. Infrared finiteness is restored after resummation of divergent terms to all orders. The resulting characteristic structure, which we call a Sudakov shoulder, represents an interesting new class of QCD predictions.
