Creating a PyCamera instance breaks WiFi

Adafruit CircuitPython 9.1.0-beta.1 on 2024-04-19; Adafruit Camera with ESP32S3

If the pycam = adafruilt_pycamera.PyCamera() line is commented out from the code.py file below the code runs fine, however when the line is included the io.get_feed("camera") statement fails with a "Name or service not known" error.

import os
import adafruit_pycamera
import wifi
import adafruit_requests
import adafruit_connection_manager
from adafruit_io.adafruit_io import IO_HTTP, AdafruitIO_RequestError

# Initialize memento camera
pycam = adafruit_pycamera.PyCamera()

print(f"Connecting to {os.getenv('CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID')}")
wifi.radio.connect(
    os.getenv("CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID"), os.getenv("CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD")
)
print(f"Connected to {os.getenv('CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID')}!")

pool = adafruit_connection_manager.get_radio_socketpool(wifi.radio)
requests = adafruit_requests.Session(pool, adafruit_connection_manager.get_radio_ssl_context(wifi.radio))

# Initialize an Adafruit IO HTTP API object
aio_username = os.getenv("ADAFRUIT_AIO_USERNAME")
aio_key = os.getenv("ADAFRUIT_AIO_KEY")

io = IO_HTTP(os.getenv("ADAFRUIT_AIO_USERNAME"), os.getenv("ADAFRUIT_AIO_KEY"), requests)

# Adafruit IO feed configuration
# Get the 'camera' feed from Adafruit IO
feed_camera = io.get_feed("camera")
