Try

:lisp (load "a.lisp")

at the input prompt. That will give a more detailed error message.

An error trying to reload something created by 'save' indicates a bug
-- can you attach the file in question? or create a bug report on the
bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs) and attach it
there?

As a workaround, it might be possible to save only the items you need
-- ? save says more about that. Of course, that won't help if some
item which you need to save is triggering the bug.

best,
