My steps were, start node with only a peer, no inbound or outbound connections.
  • sync headers
  • stop node when it starts downloading blocks
  • enable inbound and outbound connections
  • get parallel block downloads
  • When blocks are done, we see the error
I stepped through in a debugger and it looked like at least one thread was dealing with a chain reorganization. Any protocol_header_in instances in other threads, upon startup, requested a particular header, which is then not found and the error is printed.
