It has been suggested that the resonance found at {ital E}{sub c.m.}=32.5 MeV in an inelastic channel of {sup 12}C+{sup 12}C corresponds to a six alpha-particle chain state. Reexamining our earlier data on this system a resonance is observed at the same energy in another outgoing channel, {sup 16}O+{sup 8}Be, which is not expected to resonate for such a configuration. We observe similar angular distributions but an appreciably narrower width than that measured in the inelastic channel.
