It also affected Linux.

A couple of days ago my Skype (on 10.10/64) began to crash repeatedly
until I found the workaround an deleted the “shared.xml” offender.

By the way, lately, more than once, I got my OS completely crashed
while in a Skype call. Except for the blue screen, it looked like I
was running Windows.
