Comment:

 As Anton points out in <https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail
 /armedbear-devel/2016-October/003721.html>, cffi-0.18 fixes problems with
 ABCL's use of jna-4.2.2 with
 <https://github.com/cffi/cffi/commit/4385468ff863d42bdb30108f0c3b9366c3fc2242>.

 This explains why neither ferada nor pipping could reproduce my error, as
 they were presumably running a patched version of CFFI.

 WORKAROUND
 ==========
 Until the next Quicklisp updates to cffi-0.18, one may fix things for a
 given installation via

 {{{
 cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects && git checkout -b v0.18.0
 https://github.com/cffi/cffi
 }}}

 Ferada's patch to add support for JAVA:JNEW-RUNTIME-CLASS has been added
 as r14903
