May 15, 2012 at 3:12 comment added Mahdi Majidi-Zolbanin To be more precise, the example in Bourbaki exercises is the following: $K$ is an algebraically closed field of char $0$, $R=K[X,Y]$, $p=X(X^2+Y^2)+(X^2-Y^2)$. Then one can show the ideal $pR$ is prime. So $R/pR$ is a domain. If $\mathfrak{m}$ is the maximal ideal of $R/pR$ generated by $X$ and $Y$, then the exercise asks to show that the $\mathfrak{m}$-adic completion of $R/pR$ is not a domain. The given hint is to show that $p$ decomposes into a product of two formal power series in $K[[X,Y]]$.
