Alasdair, I have tried this with Clisp (versions 2.38 & 2.39 on Linux)
and it loads OK for me. What does build_info() report?
Also, you can try loading it from Lisp and you might get a more
detailed error message.
:lisp (load "/usr/share/maxima/5.15.0/share/contrib/stringproc/stringproc.lisp")

If you're parsing the string, my advice is to let the Maxima parser do it.
read and readonly might be useful here -- read evaluates the input and
readonly does not.
Hope this helps,
