      Do I need to replace the above with the content from your post?  Is this generic or machine-specific?

        That should be okay. gettext is mentioned in that file. Try restarting PHP-FPM and see if issue persists.

          Done.  Now I'll wait to see if there are any recurrences.  Thanks!

            Just as final test.

            Running on shell / diag_command:

            php -m | grep gettext
            

            Should return gettext which would mean it is being correctly loaded.

              I got the following:

              Shell Output - php -m | grep gettext

              gettext

              So that's good.  I am still getting the crash reports though.

                Just out of curiosity, do you have any packages installed? Run this and let me know if there is any output:

                pkg info | grep -i pfsense-pkg

                  I do, in fact.  Here is the output:

                  Shell Output - pkg info | grep -i pfsense-pkg

                  pfSense-pkg-Avahi-1.11_2      pfSense package Avahi
                  pfSense-pkg-darkstat-3.1.2_1  pfSense package darkstat
                  pfSense-pkg-snort-3.2.9.1_12  pfSense package snort

                    Something is calling php either at a point when configuration is not yet available or forcing it to load on defaults. I could not find anything doing that on the main system neither on those packages. Hence why no Xdebug stack trace at all (which would have been very helpful to find the source…)

                    I'd suggest a "dirty" workaround until someone finds the true origin of the problem.

                    Create a /etc/inc/globals_override.inc with this content:

                    
                    if (!function_exists('gettext')) {
                        function gettext($str) {
                            return $str;
                        }
                    }
                    

                    This will define that function, if it isn't otherwise available, and make that error gone for time being.

                    Regards,

                      I have created the new file & put it in place, rebooted the system & made some notes as to what I've done thus far.  I will wait to see if it shows up again.  Thank you Jorge, for you help in this.  +1 for you!  :D

                        Okay, so I'm still getting the error:

                        I look at the referenced line in "notices.inc" and see this:

                        		log_error(sprintf(gettext('Could not send the message to %1$s -- Error: %2$s'), $to, $smtp->error));
                        

                        which lead me to reexamine my notification settings, which seem to be in order, since I am also getting Cron emails from the system reporting this:

                        X-Cron-Env: <shell= bin="" sh="">X-Cron-Env: <path= etc:="" bin:="" sbin:="" usr="" sbin="">X-Cron-Env: <home= var="" log="">X-Cron-Env: <logname=root>X-Cron-Env: <user=root>Can't open perl script "/usr/local/www/lightsquid/lightparser.pl": No such file or directory</user=root></logname=root></home=></path=></shell=> 
                        

                        While I would really like to know what is causing this, I've almost decided to execute a fresh install.  :(

                          Definitely looks like leftover of packages uninstalled during 2.2.x to 2.3.x upgrade.

                          The last resort you have is, as you said, config.xml backup and reinstall from scratch.

                            A clean install followed by a restore of all except packages seems to have worked a charm.  Luckily I don't use more than two or three packages.  Thanks again for the assistance!
