@edokan , thank you for reporting this issue.
does the username include any other special characters? Tried with the username pattern you mentioned, and couldn't reproduce the issue

[edokan]

@ViktarStarastsenka nope. Beside ( no other character. It probably tried to write an error to the log and then this one occurred.

@edokan , please try with 2.38 (released today).
re-open the ticket if the issue still reproduces.
