I ran bitcoin-qt with an old wallet, causing it to rescan, then stopped it with a SIGINT signal, resulting in the following log. Nothing unexpected, so far:
```

```

However, the next time it was launched, the rescan didn't continue, nor did it start over. It seems to have been skipped?

```

I didn't investigate deeply, but could it be that despite the failed rescan, the new tip block was stored in the wallet? if so, this would be confusing.

    AssertLockHeld(cs_);
    for (std::set<COutPoint>::iterator it = setLockedCoins.begin();
         it != setLockedCoins.end(); it++) {
        COutPoint outpt = (*it);
        vOutpts.push_back(outpt);
    }
}

    std::map<CKeyID, const TxStateConfirmed*> mapKeyFirstBlock;

        assert(spk_man != nuptr);
        LOCK(spk_man->cs_KeyStore);
        // get birth times for keys with metadata
        for (const auto& entry : spk_man->mapKeyMetadata) {
            if (entry.second.nCreateTime) {
