TxHashsetDownload is starting in parallel with TxHashsetPibd about grin HOT 4 OPEN

#3757 probably fixes this, would appreciate if anyone seeing this issue could build from that PR and see if the same error occurs.

from grin.

For clarity, this issue is with the git v5.2.0-beta.1
My guess would be that this happens when a new horizon header is defined. The horizon header is 48 hours back in time, but is updated every 12 hours. So it would be important to look at the time, probably it coincides with this 12 hourly horizon update.

Just a wild guess, but it happens at block header height 2414175 according to the log.

2414175/(1260) = 3353.02083333, so 0.0212*60 = 14.4. Your screenshot is from 14 minutes after a horizon update. Can be coincidence, most likely it is not.
Probably the node gets into some conflict state since it starts to sync using the txHAshsetDownload since it updated all blocks except the last 48 hours using PIDB. Then, before the node has finished downloading the next 12 hours using the TxHashsetDownlaod method, the horizon is updated, resulting in a switch back to PIDB to download the remaining blocks to the new horizon header.

I'm looking into this as well, would be good to narrow down how to reproduce it, let me know if you determine anything further.
