Hi, thanks for the bug report. TIL there's now a bitcoin binary in Bitcoin Core; this appears to be the multiprocess wrapper introduced by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31375.
@domob1812 would you like to fix this or would you prefer that I do the fix?
If you have the bandwidth for it, please go ahead :)
