I believe the following line should replace the current 1.8.0 jvm/clojure/lang/LispReader.java line 68:
static Pattern intPat = Pattern.compile( "([-+]?)(?:(0)|(0*[1-9][0-9]*)|0[xX]([0-9A-Fa-f]+)|([0-7]{3})|([1-9][0-9]?)[rR]([0-9A-Za-z]+)|0[0-9]+)(N)?"); Without this change the 1.8.0 clojure reader fails on some simple things like: (read-string "08") (read-string "09") I see that the prior commit was trying to get old style octal identifiers to work (and this change doesn't get this right either) but octal can still be correctly read using the radix notation, eg (read-string "8r45") works. Perhaps someone here can get this change or a more sophisticated fix committed that will allow numeric strings with leading zeros to be successfully read.
