node0 stderr bitcoind: validation.cpp:5392: void ChainstateManager::CheckBlockIndex() const: Assertion `!c->setBlockIndexCandidates.contains(const_cast<CBlockIndex*>(pindex))' failed. #33948
Description
Just ran into this crash in the nightly CI, which was using llvm 22~++20251125085442+ed95c4d6ecf0-1~exp1~20251125085501.1311. It may be a compiler error, but it is odd that only one test was failing:
node0 stderr bitcoind: validation.cpp:5392: void ChainstateManager::CheckBlockIndex() const: Assertion `!c->setBlockIndexCandidates.contains(const_cast<CBlockIndex*>(pindex))' failed.
