Unable to run Durable Functions with Azure Storage Emulator v5.8

I was successfully running Durable Functions for a few weeks but now all of a sudden I am not able to run them and am getting the following output. Not sure what has changed -- any pointers on what to look at would be most appreciated. I have also included a related stacktrace below.

```

Inner Exception 1:

```

Reproduce the failure with Azure Functions Core Tools 2.1.725, runtime 2.0.12134.0, and Azure Storage Emulator v5.8, using the host.json configuration shown. Start at Security/KeyManagement/BlobStorageSecretsRepository.cs line 167 and follow the calls through SecretManager.cs lines 412 and 82; done means identifying the storage incompatibility and confirming the host starts successfully.
