`walletpassphrase` RPC
-----------------------
The behavior of the `walletpassphrase` RPC when the wallet is already unlocked
has changed between 0.8 and 0.9.
The 0.8 behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to fail when the wallet is already unlocked:
> walletpassphrase 1000
walletunlocktime = now + 1000
> walletpassphrase 10
Error: Wallet is already unlocked (old unlock time stays)
The new behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to set a new unlock time overriding
the old one:
> walletpassphrase 1000
walletunlocktime = now + 1000
> walletpassphrase 10
walletunlocktime = now + 10 (overriding the old unlock time)
