 I couldn't test on the original machine with linux_base-fc-4
 so I tested it on amd64 machine with linux_base-fc-8.  Skype
 still seems to keep open far too many descriptors (480
 compared to 140 on the mac) and this number goes up to 663
 when making a skype test call but there seems to be no
 further leakage.
 
 Thanks!
