There are other ways to break the REPL, such as setting an invalid
readtable, but this one is easy to solve (enclose every call to READ
in a LET form that sets the flag to nil) and does not break the
users's expectations (unlike using a standard i/o syntax for reading
from the toplevel)

Fixed in git/CVS
