The problem stems from the kludgey way in which ABCL currently implements GRAY-STREAMS, namely by "gray-streams.lisp" changing the values of functions like CL:READ-SEQUENCE with versions that dispatch depending on whether they are invoked on an ANSI stream or a Gray stream.

If one uses the interpreted form of DRAKMA::%READ-BODY this dispatch works, but the compiled form does not.

We have many problems with our use of streams, but this case might provide an insight into figuring out how to move forward. Did a change in DRAKMA cause this problem to surface or is this a regression in the ABCL compiler?
