[CM] problem with #! in CMUCL

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  Thanks for the note, Torsten, but here's what happens with the current
2.4.0 and CMUCL 18d :

* (new seq name 'test)

#<SEQ "#<SEQ "TEST">">
* #!test

Reader error on #<Two-Way Stream, Input = #<Synonym Stream to
SYSTEM:*STDIN*>, Output = #<Synonym Stream to SYSTEM:*STDOUT*>>:
No dispatch function defined for #\!.

Restarts:
  0: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.

Debug  (type H for help)

(COMMON-LISP::%READER-ERROR
 #<Two-Way Stream, Input = #<Synonym Stream to SYSTEM:*STDIN*>, Output =
#<Synonym Stream to SYSTEM:*STDOUT*>>
 "No dispatch function defined for ~S."
 #\!)
Source: Error finding source: 
Error in function DEBUG::GET-FILE-TOP-LEVEL-FORM:  Source file no longer
exists:
  target:code/reader.lisp.
0] 0

* 

Best regards,
