How to fix TypeError: Cannot set property 'uid' of undefined?

Here is my log and after a mongo error I restarted the server and everything is working fine except one error keeps on repeating when I try to add user from registration queue.

What plugins do you have active? The only way userdata could be undefined there is if some plugin is altering it filter:user.create

[sumit roy]

Solved. add-registration-field plugin was the culprit. An undefined field was added in the registration page causing the error in adding a user in the database.
