Go to addons\metamod\plugins.ini and disable by a semicolon every plugin loaded from there (includiong also podbot mm). Save it then start the game and check if it still closes Your CS. If no - write in the console:
meta version
and post here the output.
If even in that case (if everything is disabled) You are still having troubles with loading the game - it's not related to podbot mm.
I got the same problem. At first, I thought that this is all because I'm running CS 1.6 on Vista, but when I uninstolled all_in_one_2_8g pack it work.
Here my output for "meta version"

Maybe try reinstalling the bots by extracting into the cstrike folder.
One thing has to be clear. If You are installing all-in-one package that's right - You have to unzip everything into the main cstrike (or czero) folder (depanding of the mod You are playing). If You are installing the fullpack (wiithout amxx and without metamod included into the package) You have to install everything into the cstrike\addons (czero\addons ) folder.
