When accessing C fields or functions, there was a potential race condition with the garbage collector running the finalizer if the object was no longer referenced elsewhere. This race was (mostly) short, but arguably still existed. Use KeepAlive() to safeguard these accesses and ensure the object is only garbage collected (and the C part freed) once the access has finished.
