Encountering errors with matrix multiplication using MKL.NET.Matrix Nuget package in a docker container

Some scenarios where this error doesn't exist (that could help isolate the issue):

1. when using mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0-jammy image (I change the runtime package to MKL.NET.linux-x64 and change dockerfile test path to /test/)
2. executing the unit test outside of a docker image (i.e. normal windows 11)

Insight on why this error could be happening or how to get more information out of the external failure would be greatly helpful. Thanks
