Looking at the OOPS (OOPS-775EB177) the user supplied an e-mail address
that was ASCII only. The OOPS happens when the code does a str(error),
and my guess would be that the error is something like:

    "The e-mail address is already used by Nicolas Valcárcel"

Thus str(error) fails, since the error message contains non-ascii
characters.
