new crash in v26.0

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behaviour

bitcoin-qt crashed while loading wallets at startup.

I used to see occasional crashes on startup a few years ago, but it hasn’t been happening at all in the last couple of major releases.

I’ve been running v26.0 for a week or two and haven’t had any problem with it crashing until today.

Here’s a backtrace. I run it in gdb habitually because I used to see a lot of crashes and never got around to changing that when it became more stable.

It happened again.

This node only connects to one other node. I run two nodes on the same machine. One connects to lots of peers, and this one that keeps crashing hosts my wallets, and only connects to the other node.

Looks like the crash happens within libQt5Core.so.5, for which there are no debug symbols available.

I tried for a while to reproduce the crash but didn’t manage. Is there something special or “unusual” about your setup, for example are you loading a large number of wallets, or are some of the wallets very large?

I assume this be moved to the GUI repo? @hebasto
