Segmentation Fault in V21 and V22 releases #24335

Description

@GITErnesO

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.
Releases: Bitcoin Core V21 and V22.

The problem:
I have a lot of HD wallets, with the first transaction in Dic 2017, encrypted, not checked for 5 years.

It starts reescaning and segmentation fault error. Tried with bitcoin-qt, bitcoind, reindex the whole blockchain, and still segmentation fault.
After loading the GUI, load the wallet, again it closes with segmentation fault

V21 and V22 downloaded and checked for signatures and hashes.

The same wallets, if checked after mid-2018-2019 (a year or more) work.

The machine is a DELL inspiron with 16Gb of ram (dbcache=8000). Tried a lot of other things (-rescan, etc) that didn't work.

All other wallets work fine, no problems, but these ones fail with newer versions of bitcoin core. Run bitcoin-wallet info, the wallets are ok, (not corrupted or anything).

If I do the reindex while the wallet is loaded, it crashes the moment the reindex gets to Dic 2017-Jan 2018. Then I reestart without the wallet loaded and it finishes reindexing OK.

In the log says it loads the wallet OK (5s :)), starts reescaning and then nothing else (it crashes).

It crashes 4 or 5 seconds after reescaning (really fast) both bitcoin-qt and bitcoind.
