Sorry for the duplication: I'm not sure which place would be more appropriate. I have the same question under the sbcl category in which I've provided details: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbcl/+question/130572

Just a followup that some discussion and clarification has taken place on the other forum but I'd welcome more input. (https://answers.launchpad.net/sbcl/+question/130572)

In a nutshell, a list sent over a socket without a newline following the closing paren, does not get read by (read inputsocketstream), but the entire list is available to be read as confirmed by repeated (read-char inputsocketstream). When reading a non-newline-terminated list from a file, (read inputfilestream) works just fine reading the list.
