I created an account succesfully. Then I logged in to report a(nother) bug, and it prompted me to choose a nickname. After trying a couple that already existed (and receiving a sensible message telling me they were already in use and to choose a different one), I entered "teoteo" and I got this stupid error, without the option to pick a different username.

Signing in and up to Oracle is always a pain in the ass, I can't understand how it can be that difficult to create a decent system where users can sing up and login. It's unbelievable.

And no, it's not a VirtualBox bug at all, but this is where I got automatically redirected after getting this error.

The title of the report and everything below the following line were pre-filled-in.

How to Reproduce

While doing a POST operation on /login, Trac issued an internal error.
