Current behaviour
I ran bitcoin-qt the same way I always do, but it failed to start up. The terminal shows this:

Expected behaviour
Not this.
Steps to reproduce
I can’t reproduce it. This is the first time it happened and I didn’t change anything.
I was typing when the splash screen popped up and grabbed keyboard focus. Is there something I could have typed at the splash screen or the “loading wallets” popup that could have caused this? I have since tried typing ‘q’ at the splash screen many times, but that appears to always cause a clean shutdown, not an assertion failure. Maybe I hit ‘q’ at just the wrong time, triggering a race condition in the shutdown code?
I ran it like this:
0gdb -ex 'run -datadir=/path path/bitcoin/src/qt/bitcoin-qt-v28.0
