After rc.newwanipv6 "503 Service unavailable"

[JasMan]

Hey,
Since I've configured IPv6 on my OPNsense 22.7.4, the web GUI is sometimes not available.
According to the logs this happens after the rc.newwanipv6 has run due to a connection change, and the lighthttpd is restarted (can't bind to socket: 127.0.0.1:443: Address already in use).

A restart of the web GUI (/usr/local/etc/rc.restart_webgui) fails too. I've to kill and start the lighthttpd process to restore it.
The web GUI is configured to listen on two interfaces only. Any thoughts what could be the issue here?

Seems that this was caused by a faulty patch cable. The WAN IF went up and down, and because of the frequency the lighttpd run into a failure.
I've replaced the cable and since one week no issues so far.
