Same problem here with Edgy and latest updates. Skype 1.3.0_53, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic No VMWare, it was never installed on my machine. For what it's worth, the log shows a firmware error in the wireless card just before the last hang I experienced. I don't know if it was so for all hangs. The hangs occur when certain contacts initiate a chat. It seems that other contacts can initiate a chat without causing any problem, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't know if voice calls cause the hang because I never receive any.
