Yes, this seems to be a problem where the call stack shows a destructor getting called on .dll unload of the client .dll.
client.dll!$E11() + 0x13 C++ Anything that looks like $E11() is an object sitting on the stack during .dll init. At the lower level, it appears to be trying to "delete" a vgui::Panel object of some kind, but vgui is most likely already shut down, so it's crashing (the panel was probably already deleted by vgui during shutdown). You might try marking the m_pViewport (SDKViewport) panel as SetAutoDelete( false ); and see if that resolves the crash. Or it could be a child panel of the viewport (a hud element of some kind). You could probably put a breakpoint in the removeallpanels call and see which panel it's puking on (you might have to print them out during startup to get meaningful panel names from them...)

The compiler should in theory use a consistent cleanup ordering between compiles, but there's no requirement specified by the C++ standard that would enforce this, and if the destruction order isn't consistent for some reason, it would explain the behavior that you're seeing from compile to compile. Any change to apparently unrelated code could potentially result in the destruction order of singletons being changed. I'd begin looking for early destruction of resources used by RemoveAllPanels (including the CBaseViewport itself) as a cause.
