Checker on GCAWAJ7 breaks on cache owned by [DELETED_USER]
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAWAJ7/90851

I see to have run into an odd corner case with this particular checker. It was cloned from tag 59915 which was cloned from tag 74923. When it's run against my username, the following error occurs:

[code]
Error Caught exception

Execution time (s) 1.0
Peak memory usage (kB) 16,743
Error message Caught exception
Execution status
Error log
[string ""]:353: attempt to concatenate field '?' (a nil value)
Script output
GCYRQ8
[/code]
On checking cache [GCYRQ8]([url=https://coord.info/GCYRQ8), ]GCYRQ8[/url], I saw that the cache owner has deleted their account. I'm guessing that the checker code is trying to access the cache owner name and is getting back a nil value, which is not something it was ever expecting to see.
