Research direction

Start with the linked StackOverflow report and the Boost.Interprocess v1.66 get_bootstamp path, then examine the C DLL and C# marshalling boundary described in the issue. Done means establishing whether the segfault is caused by Boost or by the interop usage, with a minimal reproducible case or a documented correction.
