clisp should have printed out something like:

The following restarts are available:
ABORT          :R1      Abort debug loop
ABORT          :R2      Abort debug loop
ABORT          :R3      Abort debug loop
ABORT          :R4      Abort debug loop
MACSYMA-QUIT   :R5      Maxima top-level


 From this, :r5 is the way to get to maxima top-level, so enter :r5. 
For me, I get back to maxima's repl.  The prompt "Break 5" says you're 5 
levels deep in the debugger, so :r1 just brings you one level up.  The 
prompt should change to "Break 4".

Does this work for you?
