Related to my other question, please help me debug "An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in Unknown Module. Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." Stepping through the code, everything works up until the actual call to del() and fails in that line.
This code is based on this article's sample and this python code which works in python. I can't get the code example as-is to work either (same exception), but I'm hopeful that it's just a little outdated or something.
EDIT: See the edit history if you care about how we got here, which is uninteresting.

Note that CPUID0 needs to be read in the right order:
//a twelve character ASCII string stored in EBX, EDX, ECX - in that order

cpuid0.Skip(4).Take(4).Concat(
cpuid0.Skip(12).Take(4)).Concat(
cpuid0.Skip(8).Take(4)).ToArray()));
I'm fairly certain you're being blocked by DEP. The x_CPUIDy_INSNS
byte arrays are in a segment of memory marked as data and non-executable.
EDIT:
That being said, I've gotten a version that compiles and runs, but I don't think gets the right values. Perhaps this will get you along your way.
EDIT 2:
I think I have the right values coming back now. Feel free to validate.
