I definitely do not have this problem with Clisp 2.33.2 on Linux. My
first guess is that we are running into a platform-specific bug in
clisp. Have you tried other lisp implementations on these platforms? The
likely culprit is the Lisp command unread-char. I'll try to come up with
some debugging code for you to try on those platforms.
