Nextcloud log - "Module \"bcmath\" is already loaded at Unknown#0"

All,

  As I work to get a new install of Nextcloud 27.0.2 on php-legacy ironed out, one log message that keeps repeating is "Module \"bcmath\" is already loaded at Unknown#0". The nextcloud help list just suggested uninstalling and reinstalling the php-bcmath module (Ubuntu has a separate package), but that makes no sense for Arch, php-legacy has no separate package. The install per the wiki has bcmath loaded in the following locations:

# grep -R bcmath /etc/webapps/nextcloud/*
/etc/webapps/nextcloud/php.ini:extension=bcmath
/etc/webapps/nextcloud/php.ini:[bcmath]
/etc/webapps/nextcloud/php.ini:; Number of decimal digits for all bcmath functions.
/etc/webapps/nextcloud/php.ini:; https://php.net/bcmath.scale
/etc/webapps/nextcloud/php.ini:bcmath.scale = 0

and

# grep -R bcmath /etc/php-legacy/*
/etc/php-legacy/php-fpm.d/nextcloud.conf:php_value[extension] = bcmath
/etc/php-legacy/php-fpm.ini:extension=bcmath
/etc/php-legacy/php-fpm.ini:[bcmath]
/etc/php-legacy/php-fpm.ini:; Number of decimal digits for all bcmath functions.
/etc/php-legacy/php-fpm.ini:; https://php.net/bcmath.scale
/etc/php-legacy/php-fpm.ini:bcmath.scale = 0
/etc/php-legacy/php.ini:extension=bcmath
/etc/php-legacy/php.ini:[bcmath]
/etc/php-legacy/php.ini:; Number of decimal digits for all bcmath functions.
/etc/php-legacy/php.ini:; https://php.net/bcmath.scale
/etc/php-legacy/php.ini:bcmath.scale = 0

That is exactly what the wiki has you do in making the copies of php.ini and setting up FPM. The error it triggers is:

The log message is informational, but I would like to figure out how get rid of the spurious log messages. Why is this message triggered? How can I fix it?
