run-program don't work with relative paths in newer versions of
cmucl (19-> ?) I have encountered the same problem myself. Don't
know whether this is intended or just a bug. If you either add the
location of the program to the $PATH environment variable, or use
an absolute path, it works.
I tested it both on solaris and linux, but for cmucl 18e on
solaris it worked, so the semantics has changed since then.
In fact I had to change some programs that used to run on cmucl 18e
on solaris, but now runs on cmucl 19 on linux.
