Starting Skype

[Stefan Lambrev]

Are you using FreeBSD 6.2-prerelease i386 ? because I have similar problems.
When I start skype as user (never tried with superuser) it cannot 
connect, and while trying
to do so, it fuck up the whole network. Also when this happened skype 
cannot be killed with -9 even.

I tried to find something with ktrace, but I really do not understand 
very much what's going on.
I notice that skype goes mad and calls a lot gethostbyname().

Well skype is binary (for linux) without debug symbols in it so I guess 
it is almost impossible to know what happens,
and may be those complains have to be sent to skype.com ? :)
