             Bug #: 29945
           Summary: Skype [5.8] crashes for the first 4-5 times after
                    installation before it can be used
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4-rc4
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-full
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

winedbg --gdb ./Skype.exe

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download Skype (from the link above)
2. Install Skype (in manual mode, untick all checkboxes in the process)
3. Run Skype

Get segfault immediately. There's no backtrace of any kind.

The only way to see something meaningful is to run it wine under gdb backend.

This bug is not a dupe of bug 14598, there they use a different Skype version,
and it still runs for a few seconds.

bug 25449 is similar, but it affects FreeBSD.
