The problem seems to be that stream-unread-char is called with a
#\null character instead of a #\newline.  It could be a peculiarity of
the two-way-streams in Allegro or a bug.

 (progn (read *standard-input*) (read *standard-input*)) 

seems to work as expected.

We could probably ignore the character passed to stream-unread-char
and only decrement the buffer index.
