   - Restart node0 with -persistmempool. Verify that it has 5
     transactions in its mempool. This tests that -persistmempool=0
     does not overwrite a previously valid mempool stored on disk.
+  - Remove node0 mempool.dat and verify savemempool RPC recreates it
+    and verify that node1 can load it and has 5 transaction in its
