Earlier today I was able to load cffi by renaming mvn.cmd to mvn.bat.

Later on, I am unable to, and I would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes.

(ABCL/Java info:
C:\Users\977315>java -jar "c:\mv-program-files\abcl-bin-1.4.0\abcl.jar"
Armed Bear Common Lisp 1.4.0
Java 1.8.0_112 Oracle Corporation
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM
Low-level initialization completed in 0.243 seconds.
Startup completed in 3.812 seconds.
Loading C:\Users\977315\.abclrc completed in 13.729 seconds.)

The error seems to happen in abcl-cffi.lisp.  
mvn.bat is visible:
(uiop/run-program:run-program '("where" "mvn.bat") :output :string) gives
"C:\\Program Files\\apache-maven-3.3.9\\bin\\mvn.bat
"
NIL
0

I don't know how to narrow down the search for the culprit.  It makes me think
that maybe the error message is not correct - that there is a different underlying 
cause.  Is there some direct way I can test maven+aether?  I now next to nothing
about Java, and looking at abcl-cffi, I did not find anything obvious.

Thanks for your help and patience,
