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?
