Wait a minute.  Alex is on Windows, where the #\Newline character in
lisp naturally translates to the byte sequence <CR><LF>.  Are you
saying that abcl on Windows reads in <CR><LF> as two characters?
Surely that is wrong.  (The default external format for character
streams should perform newline conversion transparently for the
platform in question)
