I don't see how anyone would get it into this state without manual config editing. Neither system.php nor the NTP config page allow you to save an empty list.

That said, if I clear out the list in my config (<timeservers></timeservers>) then I can reproduce the error.

I could replicate the issue on the:

23.01-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Fri Feb 10 20:06:33 UTC 2023
FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT

The patch fixes it successfully. I am marking this ticket resolved.
