Error starting TFTP with PHP 8.1

Description
Hi all,
I have upgraded to 23.01.b.20221216.0600 and found that the package TFTP pfSense-pkg-tftpd upgraded: 0.1.3_3 -> 0.1.3_4 does not start and throws error messages. See captured log.
This service when you uninstall does then get rid of the errors.
This needs to be investigated and remediated.
Thanks,
M.

Copying the error out of the attachment so it's easier to see:

The service tftp update and start succusefull.
Hi All,
I have upgraded to the latest PFSense 23.01.b.20221217.1429 and found the same error. Unable to start the TFTP service from the Dashboard Services Status.
However, I went into the application Services > TFTP Server and tried to start the service from the checkbox. Everything has started up correctly and no errors.
All is working correctly now.
Thank you to the community for also investigating.
Cheers,
M.
- Status changed from New to Not a Bug
From a completely fresh install that never had TFTP before, after enabling the service I can start/stop it from the dashboard, service status page, and the shortcut in the breadcrumb bar when looking at the TFTP settings.
No PHP errors or any other errors for that matter.
It's possible some other package was interacting here but it does not appear to be a problem with TFTP itself.
If anyone can reproduce this still, please post on the forum for assistance in tracking down the root cause in your environment.
