[BUG] Fatal error 0xC0000005 on instrumentation

[rootix]

Describe the bug
We use coverlet.collector together with dotnet test command. On our CI-Environemnt (Windows Agent on Azure DevOps OnPrem) we get periodically failures while the tests are running. We have over 20 Test projects and everytime it is a different project that has the error. Sometimes it runs trough without any issue.

I searched for the stacktrace (below) and found some vstest issues which pointed to change from 17.13.0 to 17.14.preview (microsoft/vstest#2952 (comment)) and another post which mentioned 17.10.0 as the one where the issues does not occur with vstest (microsoft/vstest#10402). But i think the issue is not vstest itself but Coverlet which produces the initial error which causes then the vstest process to fail. I experienced the issue with 17.13.0 and 17.14.preview but not with 17.10.0 after 2 pipeline runs. But i got on both other versions runs without an issue, so i have low confidence that this is the fix.

To Reproduce
I cannot provide the projects that have this issue and don't know how to make a minimal reproduction for this issue.

Expected behavior
There is no error with coverlet enabled.

Actual behavior
The stacktrace that we get is:

The tests are executed with the following command (per project since we split unit and integration test projects):

dotnet.exe test <path-to-csproj>.csproj --configuration Release --no-build --no-restore --verbosity minimal --collect "XPlat Code Coverage" --settings <path-to>\coverlet.runsettings --logger nunit;LogFilePath=<path-to>/<project>.TestResults.xml

Configuration (please complete the following information):
Please provide more information on your .NET configuration:
* Which coverlet package and version was used? -> 6.0.4
* Which version of .NET is the code running on? 9.0.200
* What OS and version, and what distro if applicable? Azure DevOps Agent Runner (Windows)
* What is the architecture (x64, x86, ARM, ARM64)? -> x64
* Do you know whether it is specific to that configuration? -> No
