[Bug 1155327] Re: skype crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc at plt()

[Jamie Strandboge]

NAK for pushing the workaround to the archive. If the problem is in
qtwebkit, then other applications may be suffering from similar
problems. We should fix this in one place. There is a workaround in
place for people who need it in the meantime.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.04

  I try to launch skype but it crashes before it opens.

  This only happens when skype is used with the Nvidia drivers/repo's.
  With the default Xorg repo skype will open and run fine. Using any of
  the 304, 310 or 313 repo's skype will crash when an attempt is made to
  start it.
