Comment (by oglekler):

 This can be a quick fix as needed with patch Sergey as suggested but I
 believe that it needs further discussion.

 Is it ok to have null as gmt_offset in the first place? I wonder if it
 needs to be checked from where it's coming from. But somehow with PHP8.1
 (by online testing tool) I am getting a fatal error, and it needs to be
 addressed anyway. If this is the case, others placed when preg_replace()
 is used, need to be checked to avoid receiving null as subject.
