As of #11466 we no longer have any logic to prevent a user from opening a wallet twice in two instances simultaneously. Not only could this break BDB (without the -privdb=false option, which I have really no idea why we even have a tuneable option for that), but we certainly don't have logic to handle such a case gracefully. It was noted in the original PR's description, but somehow was never followed up on before merge.

    HANDLE hFile = (HANDLE)_get_osfhandle(_fileno(file));
    LARGE_INTEGER nFileSize;
    int64_t nEndPos = (int64_t)offset + length;
    nFileSize.u.LowPart = nEndPos & 0xFFFFFFFF;
    nFileSize.u.HighPart = nEndPos >> 32;
    SetFilePointerEx(hFile, nFileSize, 0, FILE_BEGIN);
    SetEndOfFile(hFile);
