It's failing on a line in get_interface_info() where it is running a command to get pf statistics:
exec("/sbin/pfctl -vvsI -i {$chkif}", $pfctlstats);
The return result from that shouldn't be anything large enough to cause PHP to run out of memory, so I'm not sure what might be happening in this case.
For example:
: pfctl -vvsI -i igb1
igb1

That function is used in a variety of places, including several dashboard widgets, the interface status page, and in a couple spots when unbound is creating its configuration. So it's possible something else is running PHP out of RAM and this is just the last thing to run.
If you can reproduce it reliably, we'll need to know a bit more about how it happened. If nobody was using the Dashboard then it was probably from Unbound, but I don't see how it would be failing there either unless something else (e.g. pfBlocker/DNSBL) is creating a gigantic Unbound configuration.

I've never seen it before, but will look out for it to recur.
I use the DNS Forwarder, not the Resolver which is disabled. I think that means I'm not using Unbound at all. I'm also not using pfBlocker/DNSBL.

Happened again. No idea why. Again, no use of the dashboard at the time.

Once again, happened while I was out of the country and not interacting with pfSense at all:
