bitcoin: RPC stuck on walletpassphrase call

Sometimes RPC API stops responding after calling walletpassphrase Unfortunately I can not exactly reproduce this bug. I have tried 20 threads with about 100 requests on each with sequential calling walletpassphrase -> listtransactions -> walletpassphrase -> getransactions, but with no luck.

Observe it four-five times a day and only restart of node could help.

It happens not only for bitcoin wallet on mainnet and testnet, but also for litecoin and bitcoin abc wallets, also for mainnet and testnet

I could provide additional data such as logs, etc.

System information

Bitcoin Core version v0.19.1 Litecoin Core Daemon version v0.17.1 Bitcoin ABC Daemon version v0.19.9.0-2f1adeefb

OS: Debian 10, Xen guest, SSD

debug.log with last call. after that RPC won’t response anymore.
