The standard tenet that Brans-Dicke theory reduces to general relativity in
the omega-tends-to-infinity limit has been shown to be false when the trace of
the matter energy-momentum tensor vanishes. The issue is clarified in a new
approach and the asymptotic behaviour of the Brans-Dicke scalar is rigorously
derived.
