<snip> The #<number>=<object> ... #<number># syntax is a result of setting a printer variable, such as *PRINT-CIRCLE* to some non-NIL value. It gives the Lisp printer the ability to print (possibly readably) objects which have circular structure (e.g. a linked-list node with a pointer to itself) without looping indefinitely (which, you will agree, should probably be avoided). However, unless you're working with self-referencing data structures, having *PRINT-CIRCLE* set to something non-NIL can be more of an annoyance than anything else. So, (1) are you sure you haven't set *PRINT-CIRCLE* to some non-NIL value? (2) Try setting it to NIL and re-running C-c RET.
