I had a look and IMO this is due to the change on the loading of a dynamic
library. Under Win32, all symbols are not exported, hence not available to
external program. However, the new loading code makes the assumption that
it can find init_xxxx symbols in the current block, which is false. Example
from cmp.c:

current = read_VV(OBJNULL, ((ecl_init_function_t) ecl_library_symbol(Cblock, "init_CMP_CMPDEFS"))); current->cblock.next = next; next = current; 

ecl_library_symbol returns NULL and read_VV crashes.
