  We examine the role that the gap dependence of the pairing interaction plays
in the gap equation for a weakly coupled uniform superfluid of three-flavor
massless quarks near the transition temperature T_c. We find that the feedback
effects on Landau-damped transverse gluons mediating the pairing interaction
alter the gap magnitude in a way dependent on the color structure of the gap.
We estimate corrections by these effects to the parameters characterizing the
fourth order terms in the Ginzburg-Landau free energy and ensure the stability
of a color-flavor locked state near T_c.
