We point out that the phenomenon ``heating by freezing'' discovered in nonequilibrium simulations by Helbing, et al. (PRL 84, 1240 (2000)) extends to equilibrium systems as well. We argue that such reentrant fluctuation-driven freezing can, for example, be realized in two-dimensional colloidal systems subjected to a one-dimensional periodic potential.
