Problem Description:

When evaluating the example from the ANSI Draft standard, shown below,

	(read (make-concatenated-stream
		     (make-string-input-stream "1")
		     (make-string-input-stream "2")))

the value returned is either 12, from MAC and VAX implementations, or 1, from 
the Symbolics implementation. 

Proposal:

Specify the correct value to be returned and verify that other implementations
do not make the same mistake.  (Note: I sent a bug report to Symbolics.)

Rationale:

For purposes of conformance and validity.

Current Practice:

As stated above.
