ekiga freezes when trying to accept a call

[Robert B]

Binary package hint: ekiga

Ekiga freezes when trying to accept a call. The application turns gray (in gnome) and sits there. A "top" doesn't reveal any cpu being used so I don't know what's happening.

I haven't so far been able to make a call to a human being (only sip:<email address hidden>).

I am attaching a gdb session output. Perhaps this will be useful.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.
