I don't know if you see the same error. If you want to reproduce mine, here are the steps:

    ssh -C -o "ServerAliveInterval 20" testgrid at cl-test-grid.cloud.efficito.com
    # (several of your keys are present in .ssh/authorized_keys)

    rm -rf .cache/common-lisp/abcl-1.5.0-fasl43-linux-x86/
    java -jar ~/lisps/abcl-bin-1.5.0/abcl.jar --eval '(require :abcl-contrib)' --eval '(ql:quickload :cffi)
