In this note we study the puzzle posed by two M5-branes intersecting on astring (or equivalently, a single M5-brane wrapping a holomorphic four-cycle inC^4). It has been known for a while that this system is different from allother configurations built using self-intersecting M-branes; in particular thecorresponding supergravity solution exhibits various curious features whichhave remained unexplained. We propose that the resolution to these puzzles liesin the existence of a non-zero two-form on the M5-brane world-volume.Comment: 21 pages. References adde
