  This work is concerned with the Cauchy problem for a Zakharov system with initial data in Sobolev spaces $H^k(\mathbb R^d)\!\times\!H^l(\mathbb R^d)\!\times\!H^{l-1}\!(\mathbb R^d)$. We recall the well-posedness and ill-posedness results known to date and establish new ill-posedness results. We prove $C^2$ ill-posedness for some new indices $(k,l)\in\mathbb R^2$. Moreover, our results are valid in arbitrary dimension. We believe that our detailed proofs are built on a methodical approach and can be adapted to obtain similar results for other systems and equations.
