Motivation
Zebra sometimes panics when a
Connection
is dropped and there is no error response:https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/actions/runs/4764031851/jobs/8495315588#step:8:543
This fixes a regression, the original ticket was #1471.
Complex Code or Requirements
This is a rare panic due to concurrency.
Solution
Replace the panic with returning a generic error.
Review
This is a low-priority security fix. It seems like it could be remotely triggerable, but I'm not sure.
