thank you! that's EXACTLY what it was! even though I set load = no in that conf file, apparently when an upgrade came down from the repo to 5.9.6 the file was overwritten to load = yes again. I've changed my strongswan.conf file to only include those modules from strongswan.d/charon/*.conf which I actually need, rather than having the include *.conf present.
