Comment (by Mark Evenson):

 This bug occurs when the system compiled with openjdk8 is run
 under the openjdk11 runtime.  Inconsistently, the abcl-1.7.0 binaries were
 compiled with openjdk11 while the abcl-1.7.1 binaries were  compiled with
 openjdk8.


 In openjdk11, the {{{java.lang.UNIXProcess}}} class has been
 replaced with {{{java.lang.ProcessImpl}}}, so our code needs to
 conditionally find the pid of a given process based on the
 platform that the ABCL finds itself running upon.

 As a workaround until we fix and release the next version of
 ABCL, one may get {{{sys:run-program}}} running as long as one
 doesn't try to get the pid via running the following code


 {{{
 (ignore-errors (sys:run-program "true" nil))
 }}}
