(CLIM 1.1, ACL 4.1 on SGI)

I'm modifying an existing expression using:

    (clim:accept 'expression :stream stream :default default
                  :prompt "Modify expression "
                  :display-default nil
                  :insert-default t)

- with stream and default bound to appropriate values.

This works fine most of the time.  However, if I don't type in enough right
parentheses before hitting return, it breaks with:

Error: eof encountered on stream #<EXCL::STRING-INPUT-STREAM @ #x11eef38a>
  [condition type: END-OF-FILE]


My question:  Is there a way to trap this error so that I can prompt the
user to correct the input by adding more right parens?
