I imagine it worked before I added the security check, and I forgot to
test after adding it.

I've changed v350.2 for Windows so that `(ffi-lib #f)' represents all
DLLs open in the process. So, the specific "msvcrt" lookup isn't needed
anymore, and the file-security-check function is also found correctly.
