  Hi Lispers,
  I'm a total Lisp newbie working my way through the new Practical Common Lisp book and I've encountered an odd problem. Using these functions:

  (defun prompt-read (prompt)
    (format *query-io* "~a: " prompt)
    (force-output *query-io*)
    (read-line *query-io*))

  (defun prompt-twice()
    (prompt read (prompt-read "hello"))

  Running this on the REPL: (prompt-twice)

  Gives me the following output:
  hello: hi
  hi:

  ""
  NIL

  The program exits before I have a change to enter anything on the hi: line. Any Lisp guys out there wanna set me straight? I'm using Lisp in a Box on Suse 9.2 Pro.
Works fine on Allegro and LispWorks.

??
