Resolution Note:
The issue here is that pointers to array elements are stored and accessed outside of a `fixed` block. The memory may be moved or collected. In this case, the fix is to allocate a pinned GC handle to keep the array alive and fixed. Something like this
System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle.Alloc(c, System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandleType.Pinned);
