After reading a symbol which is terminated in some way other
than by right parens or space, the reader does a "putback" of a
pseudo-space (ascii "value" 131.) into the read stream. This
is somewhat necessary for the operation of the current reader,
and would be quite a pain to try to change. admittedly it is
a loss for TYIPEEK after such an operation, but you might try
using (READLINE) instead of (LINEREAD).
