Two-proton correlation functions for the inverse kinematics reaction [sup 129]Xe+[sup 27]Al at [ital E]/[ital A]=31 MeV have been reanalyzed to search for differences between longitudinal and transverse correlations indicative of emission from a long-lived composite system. Evidence for such differences is found when tight angular cuts are applied in the compound nucleus rest frame and when the correlation functions are constructed by the event mixing technique.
