CLIM 1.1, both Genera and Lucid.

Bug: (ACCEPT 'INTEGER) bombs (rather than asking the user to correct
the input) if the user types either a "." or a ":" by mistake.  The
ACCEPT appears to be calling the Lisp reader which mistakes the "."
for a misplaced consing-dot and the ":" for a misplaced package
prefix.  Why would this be happening?  How can I get around it?
