    Hi all,
    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

	    ? (read-from-string "fred" :start 3)
	    FRED
	    4
    I believe this should return:
	    D
	    4

This is defined Common Lisp behavior.
You have to supply the two optional args to read-from-string in order to
then start supplying the keyword args.

e.g.:
  (read-from-string "fred" nil :EOF :start 3)
  ==>  D
       4
