Bug Description
After recent upgrades to Ubuntu Hardy, it is not possible to use Skype.
The application launches and connects to server, but if you try to make a call, if you receive a call or if you try to access SKype options, ubuntu crashes completely. It becomes impossible to switch to a terminal or do anything else. Not even SysRq RSEIUB will work.
Some people are guessing this has to do with PulseAudio. However, killing PulseAUdio processes before starting SKype wont help.
It also is impossible to use previous versions of Skype.
Please tell me which information I could provide you in order to debug this.
Regards,
Effenberg

Skype is working for me on 64-bit hardy OK. I'm using it with USB Audio headphones just fine. Can you try doing an strace?

And attaching it?
