We have measured the reaction ..pi../sup -/p ..-->.. K/sup +/K/sup -/K/sup +/K/sup -/n at 22.6 GeV/c and defect strong phi signals in the K/sup +/K/sup -/ effective-mass plots. We do not observe the expected Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka--rule suppression of the phiphin final state and conclude that the rule is working poorly in the observed production processes.
