I remember some error reports like this (with other programs). The =20
outcome was either that we are not able to find the cause, or that the =20
glibc version used is broken (and a newer one fixes the problem). I =20
don't remember which of those it was. Which linux base are you using? =20
If it is fc4, please try with a more recent one. If it is not fc4, =20
please try with fc4.

If the problems occurs with both, it would be interesting to know what =20
is happening (this would involve building skype, fontconfig and/or =20
glibc with debug symbols).

Bye,
Alexander.
