Version of opal: libopal3.10.2 3.10.2~dfsg-0ubuntu1

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rex Tsai (chihchun)]

Seems fixed in upstream http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670405

Well, ekiga 4.0.1-2 crashed with SIGSEGV in PStringOptions::SetAt() using Ubuntu 13.10, a couple of times today so either the fix hasn't come downstream or it is incorrect. /usr/lib/libopal.so.3.10.10 is everywhere in the stack trace.
