The error occurs during applicaton shutdown.

In my case, this happens with the GL.ShaderSource() function inside the

C-code typically expects the string array to end with a null element, I
can't see that you're doing that in your code.

Otherwise you might want to try to create the array manually using the
System.Runtime.Interop.Marshal class (use AllocHGlobal to create the array
memory, then StringTo* to create unmanaged versions of the string) to see if
that works.
