Description
I looked for _fibers_ and got only one result stating that [fibers are not supported in .NET.](https://github.com/dotnet/docs/blob/6c268f75fbd5e9de9a220de13e9ddc7fb2b568ed/docs/standard/threading/managed-and-unmanaged-threading-in-windows.md).
However, there seems to exist some kind of support for [calling .NET from a fiber](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/11373) (typically through COM).
It would be good to know the limitations. I've faced the problem of doing this (from a VM that uses green threads in a similar fashion to fibers) and getting a crash. In my case, I see the CLR issuing a loop that accesses stack pages backwards in the stack to detect where is the guard page, but it seems that the guard bits of the stack page are not restored and by calling the CLR a few times eventually it crashes.
