I believe the story goes like so:

The eval call here compiles a list of a function object and three
numbers. The function object gets compiled to code which effectively
calls readString on "#=(clojure.core$_PLUS_. )". (It so happens that
print-dup knows how to handle functions; if it didn't, an exception
would be thrown during compilation with the message "Can't embed
object in code, maybe print-dup not defined: ...".) When the compiled
code is executed, readString gets called to reconstruct the function,
and since *read-eval* is false, this fails.

+1 to setting *read-eval* to false by default, by the way.

Michał
