 Replying to [comment:1 teor]:

 Could be!

 > The channel is closed, but the command is still being processed?

 Actually, yes that is possible that the channel was closed and thus
 leading to the `p_chan` to be NULL.

 And if we can start reading on a closed connection, we might end up in
 that code path.

 An approach here could be to test #30344 once merged and see if this
 happens again. On two relays I operate, I saw this assert() in few hours
 so over couple days of running the patch, I think we'll be sure that we
 fixed it.

 Not sure we can easily unit test this with the whole connection "start
 reading" code complexity :S.

 I'll take ownership of this and test #30344 fix in production.
