Bug#670405: ekiga: Ekiga crashes on startup

Wed Apr 25 10:42:12 UTC 2012

Package: ekiga
Version: 3.2.7-4.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Since a few weeks ago, Ekiga crashes on startup (shortly after showing
the main window) and I cannot use it at all. It doesn't seem to happen
100% of the times, though, but the problem is very easy to reproduce.

Here's the output from GDB:
