The "official" (for some value of official) way to quit
ccl is (ccl:quit).

If you type ^D (1+ ccl::*consecutive-eof-limit*) times,
the lisp will exit, as you note.  This was added to avoid
trouble when *standard-input* is connected to /dev/null
or something like that.

As another option: you can set ccl:*quit-on-eof* to t, and
it will only take one ^D to exit the lisp.
