Hello, sorry for the delay getting back to you. There's a similar issue 
described here: 

https://code.google.com/p/volatility/issues/detail?id=168#c1

In particular, Volatility has a problem parsing certain unicode characters. 
There's a temporary fix in the issue I linked to above, and we'll keep you 
informed of when we can provide a more permanent fix.

Ok, the problem is with "get_user_name(user)", so I replace it with "dummy", 
and the rest is ok,
