You don’t need to understand the assembly code; you can just watch the name of
the functions around the indicated location.
In the case of my version of libecl, I would find:
[pjb@despina :0.0 documentation]$ otool -t -v -V
/opt/local/lib/libecl.dylib|grep -A300 -e '^_cl_boot:'
_cl_boot:

0000000000002183 leaq _char_names(%rip), %rbx
we can see that calls to SI:GETCWD, SI:MAKE-VECTOR and SI-FILL-ARRAY-WITH-ELT
are made just before that address, and a call to CL:MAKE-HASH-TABLE will be
called just after.
So if I had the error at the same cl_boot+1025 offset, I would infer there’s
some problem with the allocation of a vector.
(But this is not consistent with your file not found error, so check your own
copy of the library, you may find other functions around the cl_boot+1025
address).
