This might be a threading issue.  Each request, each expression typed
into the repl, is evaluated in a new thread.  But it seems to work in
Allegro:

CL-USER> *readtable*
#<readtable @ #x2000c902>
CL-USER> (copy-readtable)
#<readtable @ #x20553ff2>
CL-USER> (setq *readtable* *)
#<readtable @ #x20553ff2>
CL-USER> *readtable*
#<readtable @ #x20553ff2>
CL-USER> 

Does OpenMCL something special with *readtable*?
