We present an analysis of the measurements on the reaction p-\-d -* He 3 -f-27r, and show that the anomalous bump in the He 3 spectrum cannot be accounted for by ir-He 3 final-state interactions, by Bose statistics for the two pions, or by the deuteron and He 3 wave functions. However, the anomaly can be satisfactorily explained by a strong final-state interaction between the two pions. We determine the 5-wave ir-w scattering length in the 1=0 state to be 2h/ixc.
